...Acme Novelty Date Book" (Drawn & Quarterly; 208 pp.; $39.95). The first collects the author's published works from the early 1990s, while he was still a student. The "Date Book" contains excerpts from the artist's sketchbooks kept between 1986 and 1995. While the hyper-self-conscious formal works use comix as a complex exploration of such fundamental human experiences as loss, loneliness and love, the sketchbooks offer a tantalizing enrichment of the author's themes through his un-self-conscious doodles...

Says Gerry Morrison, president of Carbolite Foods in Evansville, Ind.: "This trend has expanded from die-hard low-carbers to a general population that is becoming much more carb-conscious."

...even 2 1/2 dimensions. Director Doug Liman (Swingers) handles the stock scenes deftly: our first look at the Mean Jock (pulls up in SUV, kisses girl, flashes a cocky, aggressive grin) is a compact haiku of soap-character exposition. And it's refreshing, after years of exhaustingly self-conscious soaps in the Dawson's Creek mold, to see an old-school, un-ironic teen drama whose characters don't sling pop-culture bons mots like ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY interns...
...Same-sex unions need to be legally recognized. When two people make a conscious choice to share their lives together, they need the socioeconomic advantages and protections extended to different-sex unions. This has nothing to do with morality but has everything to do with equality and fairness. Martha Dohm France...
