I'm so happy that Chris Eliopoulos contributed today's Unshelved Book Club. In addition to being a prolific letterer and the author of Marvel's Franklin Richards, Son of Genius, Chris is the cartoonist of Misery Loves Sherman, which has become a staple of my RSS feeds. His adorable Lil' Death is currently the desktop background of my computer.

Chris wasn't able to make it to Webcomics Weekend and so we dedicated the entire weekend to him, drank many toasts in his honor, and sculpted a statue of him in the town square. None of that is true, but I'm still grateful for the guest strip.

Our thanks to this week's sponsor, Random House Inc., which would like you to peruse their new graphic novels catalog featuring books from such storied publishers as D.C, Del Rey, Titan Books, Vertical, Villard, and Pantheon. Click through to download an electronic version or request a paper copy!
