...creator of "Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth," guest edited the hard covered book, taking over for regular "McSweeney's" editor Dave Eggers ("A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.") Ware's influence can be seen even before you tear off the shrink-wrap (an ironic touch given Ware's disdain for polybagged, untouchable collector's comics). The cover appears deconstructed. And it is, sort of. The dust jacket unfolds into a 29 x 21 3/4 inch, poster-size, full-color work about God, man and comic strips. The verso displays Gary Panter's giant mandala of cartoon and fine...

The emailed memo was leaked to TIME by a senior U.S. civilian official in Baghdad, who did not hide his disdain for the "factotums" in the Pentagon. "I do wonder how incredibly stupid some people in the Pentagon are," he emailed TIME. "Not only are they drawing everyone's attention to the report - and where it can be seen - but attempting to muzzle people never works...
