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.

    This is the best thing EVAR. I grew up on reprints of the Segar Minute Movie classics, and this nails them in every way, from the art, to the pacing, to the dialogue. Top marks!

    I bought books 3 and 4 of the big Fantagraphics Popeye reprint series. They are flavorful. My dad and my son both love them also.

      Very early Tin Tin. Nothing like Hergé’s later work which defines his art.
