"It was a Dark and Silly Night"
Not a new entry in the Bulwer-Lytton Prize for execrable prose... It's a new comic for kids (fourth in a series) by Art Spiegelman, best known as the author/artist of Maus.
NPR's "Weekend Edition" ran a piece on it Saturday - you can find that here. There's a bunch of cool links at the bottom of that page, too!
