New Quimby’s Postcard by Jessi Zabarsky!

We are over the moon with this playful postcard that Chicago-based cartoonist and illustrator Jessi Zabarsky made for us! Its whimsical multi-color take on Chris Ware’s iconic Quimby imagery is such a sweet tribute. We know you’ll love the hidden creatures doing silly things as much as we do! And did you see the mouse pulling the strawberry?! Spend some time with it and take it in, you won’t be able to get enough. And THE THING HAS ROUNDED CORNERS! Perfect for dropping a line to your friends while also spreading the word about your favorite bookstore. Only $2! What a steal! Come into the store and get it or order one from our webstore here.
