Future Acme

I hadn't seen this cover image on any blogs, and so thought I would post it. According to Amazon, Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library #19 will be released in December.

The Trons.

Found this while perusing a dorky guitar message board.

The Trons are from New Zealand. This is all I know about the Trons.

Nicely Drawn Boy

Here's a gallery of images featuring boys. These engravings, which are fairly typical of those in American books from around 1840-1870, are taken from boys' novels, a girls' novel, a teachers' advice manual, and an anti-corporal punishment treatise. Some of these will appear in a book I've written on 19th-century New England boyhood that'll be out in 2009.
