    Your local cartoonist, just hangin' out. Normal day. You know how it goes.

    Actually, that's a fib. This is me at the Wondermark book launch party: They had a pretty sweet dress-up photo booth.

    Wondermark, for the uninitiated, is created by fellow Los Angeleno cartoonist David Malki, and brilliantly uses Victorian-era illustrations in a Monty Pythonesque mashup with modern-day themes. It's pretty awesome.

    Anyhoo, Dave's second book just launched, and I couldn't recommend it more. It's beautifully hard-bound, beautifullly printed, and beautifully funny. (Bam: What a turn of phrase, right there.)

    Also: Let's not discuss it at great length, but check out the quadruple (quintuple?) chins I was able to generate.
