I love stuff like this.  I don't know why.  It's all that hipster crud I hate, making fun of old stuff without contributing anything new.

And yet, still funny.

Though I wouldn't have wasted two full pages on Mac Worth, but that may just be my personal bias.

I got this a few weeks ago, it's a fun book.  I think part of the appeal is how it works both as using comics to comment on classic stories and as using classic stories to comment on comics.

I've read the Peanuts/Kafka parody in the BEst of 2007 comics book I thought it was brilliant. I still need to read the whole thing...
