McSweeneys, the literary magazine that usually pretends to be a book has just come out with issue 33.  This time it’s playing the role of Sunday Edition of a newspaper.  It comes complete with different sections, a pull-out glossy magazine, full color comics section (ranging in talents from Chris Ware (Acme Novelty Library) to Erik Larsen (Savage Dragon)), and step by step instructions on how to be Death Cab for Cutie.  It all comes in a sealed package, which makes you feel like you’re opening up astronaut food, or new checks.  After much anticipation, the issue showed up this morning, cooing like a dove.
