I’ve been hunkered down meeting a deadline and being creative, so it’s been quiet around here. But I did run into Stripped Books over at Chase Sequence [via Morning Improv]. These comic strips appear on BookSlut regularly and offer a surreal, post-modern look at that glorious published author event: the book signing. My favourite is Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith reading to a gullible group of children (for the unwashed: they’re the creators of Stinky Cheeseman, Time Warp Trio and many other seminal works of children’s literature.)

Go. Read. Have fun.
