gerisullivanThe subject line quotes to title of brilliant words and pictures from Grant Snider, who wrote:
"I drew this comic after spending some quality time with The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst. It was a engaging and thoughtful book on a subject that can seem frighteningly esoteric to non-designers. Still, no book exists that cannot be improved with elephants."
It's available as a poster. I do believe I'm going to succumb to the temptation.
With a tip o'the link hat to Abi's Parhelia on Making Light.

It's irregular, but incidental comics is one of the more recent additions to my really weird comics list.
