I picked up Ragnar's wonderful, gross kids' book "Got Your Nose" at Comic-Con this weekend. Ragnar's illustration style -- retro Ren and Stimpy-esque cartoons -- is eminently suited to this children's tale of two brothers, one of whom is good and the other is evil. The evil brother steals the good one's nose and then subjects it to all manner of hilariously illustrated stinky tortures (the fart page is a real gas). This is the kind of book that's naughty enough to get a million laughs out of the stink-obsessed six-year-old in your life, and handsome enough to want to cut up and frame. Link

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
