Get Your War On, the animated series

David Rees's Get Your War On -- absolutely my favorite political comic -- has been animated by 23/6, and it's an incredibly successful adaptation, keeping the low-fi look and feel while still doing more than presenting the individual panels as slides in an animated PowerPoint. This is the first episode, but they promise a series. Oh yes, thank you very much! Link (Thanks, Ben!)

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.

David Rees is the man! In a good way, not in a “the man’s keeping me down” way.

Holy CRAP my heart stopped at the end!

(Great, great animation, though. Says the dead guy.)
