As pretty much everybody knows by now, Chris Ware drew four different The New Yorker covers for this week. TNY has published all four, plus an original Ware story called "Leftovers," at its website.
Over at Locust St., the blog has been featuring an ongoing series called "100 Years (in Ten Jumps)." It's good stuff, but I'm particularly in awe of the entry "1976," which links such disparate artists as Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band, Anthony Braxton, The Wild Tchoupitoulas, and The Ramones.
