What does the future hold for you? Well, I predict you will fall madly in love with Corinne Mucha’s amazing new mini-comic, Is It the Future Yet?, which she made ‘specially for Quimby’s! I see you laughing out loud at the fresh psychic hijinx and time-travel schemes that grace every delightful page. I can see your love for this comic quickly growing rich, deep, and strong and you will find it brings you much good luck and happiness as years go by…Yes, my friend, the future looks very bright indeed….
This is, by the way, the launch of our first exclusive minicomics edition- you can only get these pages of wit and wonder at Quimby’s- so slither on in and pick one up!
Sure, we have a whole lotta new stuff this week, but what we really enjoyed was Jason Young’s envelope, which he sent us his mini comics in, which are Veggie Dog Saturn #3 ($3.00) & Veggie Dog Saturn #4 ($2.00).
In case you can’t read it, the mouse on the left is saying “Ha! This comic’s great!” The mouse on the right is saying “Hurry up! I wanna get my drink on!”
Highlights this week:
Weathercraft by Jim Woodring (Fantagraphics) $19.99 – It’s a Frank comic! In a beautiful hard cover book!
Hopes and Prospects SC by Noam Chomsky (Haymarket) $16.00
Craphound #4 Clowns Devils and Bait $12.00 – Did we tell you about this one last week? Worth repeating!
Wally Gropius by Tim Hensley (Fantagraphics) $18.99 – Hilarious. There is at least one referance to Huey Lewis.
Very Kraftwerk Summer by Christopher Hutsul $7.00 – A memoir comic about an adolescent posse influenced by the band. But looking at the art, it almost looks a bit like one of Archer Prewitt’s Coctails posters. Cool! If only me and my friends were this cool at that age. -LM

We received a really wonderful e-mail from someone carrying on the zine vibes out in CA. And why, just today, one of our customers lamented that they didn’t have a zine source in LA. So here you are!

WILSON is one of the most anticipated books of the year to hit stores — by Daniel Clowes, the cartoonist of David Boring, Ghost World and Ice Haven and the legendary Eightball comic book series. Meet Wilson, an opinionated middle-aged loner who loves his dog and quite possibly no one else. In an ongoing quest to find human connection, he badgers friend and stranger alike into a series of one-sided conversations, punctuating his own lofty discursions with a brutally honest, self-negating sense of humor. After his father dies, Wilson, now irrevocably alone, sets out to find his ex-wife with the hope of rekindling their long-dead relationship, and discovers he has a teenage daughter, born after the marriage ended and given up for adoption. Wilson eventually forces all three to reconnect as a family – a doomed mission that will surely, inevitably backfire.
