Oversized

I think the cover to the new MOME is awesome. I only have the one book by this cartoonist (I think his name is Killoffer), but I think his drawings are great.

The book that I have (Six Hundred and Seventy Six Apparitions of Killoffer) is one of those oversized ones that don't fit on any normal shelves. We're doing a lot of clearing out of our apartment at the moment, trying to get rid of things, and I think the shelves that I'm actually able to fit this book into are going to go.

Don't worry, I'm not getting rid of the book, but I'm wondering to myself where it will go now. Same thing for my too-tall Acme Novelty Libraries, and the giant NINJA book from Picturebox.

On a slightly related note: every time I bring up that NINJA book, or the excellent MOURNING STAR book from Bodega Press, I want to add the phrase "The buzz-book of SPX". This is because when I was at SPX in 2006, I heard numerous people refer to these books in that way, and now the association is permanently stuck in my head. It could be worse, I could have "The shittiest book at SPX" stuck in my head for them instead, and that's probably definitely not what those creators want to hear!
