Jon Scieszka & Lane Smith Visit Barnes & Noble: The Comic

Yes, you heard correctly (although you should really retire that cassette player), someone went and made a comic book version of a Scieszka and Smith appearance. The creator (Gordin McAlpin) must have recorded the event, because the comic looks like a pretty faithful retelling – right down to the jokes. And there’s a lot of mirth going around when you get these two children’s lit luminaries together. A bit old (created a couple years back), but once you start reading you won’t want to quit.
