Wonder World / Aline the Alien Flip Book is a collection of interconnected stories from T. Motley and Lonnie Allen.  In Motley's "Aline the Alien" we follow Aline and Kik as they break fourth walls and any other comic narrative restrictions that get in their way while having fun doing it, but you'll have as much fun reading it.  Lonnie Allen's "Wonder World" follows a cast of characters as they travel through the looking glass of their reality.  Mind-bending gags from two great creators for the price of one.  2007. 32 pg b&w mini-comic, color cover.  General, $3.50 US.

The Gaiman Variations

From About Comics' 2005 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights book, this is a rant about the creative process and the 24 hr challenge. It's a funny read, but pretty raw. I do much better when I take my time.
