Today's Unshelved Book Club comes from Box Brown, creator of the sublime Bellen. Box won the 2008 Xeric award for his book Love is a Peculiar Type of Thing. Please take the few minutes necessary to become a huge fan of his work.

This makes three guests in a row for our Sunday strip, which probably deserves some explanation. We are in the process of changing how we sell our books to libraries, book stores, and comic shops (announcement forthcoming). This will be a good thing in the long term, but in the short term Jana and I have been completely consumed by the logistics involved. Add to this a new book and our two biggest conferences of the year scheduled back-to-back, and I for one appreciated the respite provided by my fellow cartoonists.
