The best Paper Rad things to get are the big $30 book from Picturebox and their DVD from Load Records.

And did anyone else think that cover comic strip on the fake book was a mock of Chris Ware? Also I love what (editor) Chris Ware had to say in his introduction about this being -The Best-: " To presume that my personal taste defines an objective by which all living cartoonists should be judged is absurd....In some cases I've chosen stories or excerpts of stories which fulfill what I think I'm looking for from art and literature (which, when boiled down past all the things that don't really matter like a snazzy style and clever writing and accomplished drawing, means "telling the truth".)" One more thing- I was super engaged by Alison Bechdel's chapter from Fun Home. I'm going to look into that one. ok enough. Thanks again Ray! I love the David Heatley cover wrap.
