Yes, we sell this Cal Q Tek 2000 Calculator Watch. It's only $15.00.

1. Craphound #4 Clowns Devils and Bait #12.00 – Holy Shit, the Craphound #4 reprint landed and it makes me smile like Ren and dance like Stimpy! Tejaratchi’s obsessive hi-con picture pages are brimming with the sauciest devils, the juciest bait and the most ambiguously legal clowns. Thrilling, terrifying, mind-blowing, hands down one of the world’s greatest zines! – EF

2. Squinty #1 by Sua Yoo $5.00

3. How I Learned to Love You From So Far Away: Stories About Love Technology by Kevin Fanning $3.00

4. Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip With David Foster Wallace by David Lipsky (Broadway) $16.99

5. Wilson HC by Daniel CLowes (D+Q) $21.95 – I have a strong urge to hate on books all about cruel, petty, delusional, pompous, middle-aged windbags, but that’s what Wilson is about and I don’t hate it at all. It’s truly something special, a cutting collection of vignettes set up like cheap midlife crisis one-liners but woven into something much more complicated. Although the tropes of the book are simple, the corner of hell Clowes has carved out for Wilson is well-suited to the bearded antagonist’s snarky, egotistical banter. Wilson could have easily slipped into super-bleak character indulgences (and occasionally it toes that line) but instead it’s true critiques are subtle and crafty and its dark wit shows you an abyss without pushing you in. In my head, Clowes’ work has always been tied to David Lynch’s films, mostly in the way detached mediocre normalcy is constantly being eroded by deep undercurrents of the bat-shit-craziness of being alive. Here, Clowes has taken his obnoxious, incorrigible scumbag of a character and through some alchemical magic shined that little shit into pure gold.-EF

6. Sad Animals by Adam Meuse $4.00

7. Snake Pit 2009 by Ben Snakepit (Birdcage Bottom) $6.00 – Another punk rock year down the hatch!
