Thing 1:
I went to the Akron-Summit County Public Library today and checked out Pride of Baghdad, written by Brian Vaughan and illustrated by Niko Henrichon. Yeah, it's a graphic novel.

Thing 1: Interesting find. More reason for people to visit there local libraries. :D

Thing 2: That sounds gross.

Oh man, I love that little book. I own a copy so I can crack it open every now and then and admire the art. Story's not bad, either. c:

I read the whole thing last night. It's awsum. :3

"Graphic novel" makes my ears/eyes hurt everytime :(.
