Re: This was in the Onion today
Craig Yoe is a veteran cartoonist and comics historian who's done a series of fascinating books full of very rare comics stuff(all of which have ARF in the title--COMIC ARF, ARF FORUM, etc.) on what he calls the intersection of high art and comics; he often prints old cartoons where cartoonists comment on modern art. He also did CLEAN CARTOONIST'S DIRTY DRAWINGS and the book on Joe Shuster's fetish drawings, SECRET IDENTITY.
If you consider yourself someone who loves comics, you would do well to check 'em out. They're more worth their price(usually around 10 bucks on Amazon) than ten current comics, and provide more enjoyment longer.
