Liberty Bell March, Day 19: Suck on this, Scott McCloud!

You may not have seen this if you don't own a copy of the wonderful but long out-of-print but lucky-for-you-it's-been-recently-re-released The Brand New Monty Python Bok (Amazon ad). Originally its was published with a printed on fingerprint-smudged cover, but I've worked in bookstores and I know exactly how dangerous it can be when publishers design a cover to look distressed on purpose: customer loudly complaining that they can't find a copy in mint condition and hitting you about the head with a Danielle Steel hardcover.

There's plenty of adaptations of Python skits and sketches as well as a slew of new stuff only seen here, like "Let's Talk About Bottoms," "The Python Book of Etiquette," "The Anagrams Gape," and the justly-famous "Page 71." If'n your a Python fan, it's well worth tracking this one down (used copies abound at much less expensive prices than the new edition) as well as the companion Monty Python's Big Red Book "Special new hardcover edition" (in paperback with a blue cover.)

Anyway: comics by a Python instead of just about them, for once:
