...parts of the book first in Japanese. On its surface, her gardener's journal is a casual, wandering set of two- or three-page mini-essays on mushrooms, ruby-throated hummingbirds and incense-sniffing ceremonies in Berkeley. Deep down, it is proof that attention and precision-savoring the small print of each moment-are no more peculiar to East than to West...
...writing in webcomics is different too--it's bizarre and wildly inventive in a way that's reminiscent of early print pioneers like Krazy Cat and Little Nemo in Slumberland. One of the most ambitiously literary--though still bracingly, crudely hilarious--comics on the Web is called Achewood. It's about a loose community of creatures--cats, a bear, a squirrel, a baby otter, a few robots--who are variously wealthy, clinically depressed, psychotic and gay.

Still, the "real" funny pages do have their appeal. Just as a few bloggers are drawn to the old-media respectability of print, some Web cartoonists are succumbing to the siren song of syndication.

The Other Boleyn Girl depicts Henry's claustrophobic court from...
...intelligence, Harvard students got the chance to wow one another when HUDS armed them with a blank white board, a vague prompt—“Nutrition is...”—and a dry erase marker. True to form, all sorts of originality exploded into print. In some cases, they exploded a little too much—the board in Cabot had to be removed due to vandalism. Knowing that die-hard Quadlings take nutrition to the extreme, FM set out to see what other houses...
