A review a day: The Search for Smilin’ Ed
While I like this book, I have to ask a problematic question about it. Look below to find out what it is! And there’s some NSFW stuff below the jump as well. Just so you know.

Human posture indicates a lot about a person, but comic book superhero posture says just as much about the artist.
The Whirring Blender Design Challenge is Back!
