A few years back I got to go to a book signing by Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes and Chip Kidd. Believe it or not I was there for Chip Kidd. He designed the book cover to "Dreaming In Cuban" and it is one of my favorites. At that time I was not into "Ghost World" so I paid no attention to Daniel but got my "Jimmy Corrigan" signed by Mr. Ware. I noticed not many people were paying attention to Mr. Kidd so I asked him if he would sign a copy of "Dreaming In Cuba" and rushed downstairs to buy one. He came back two years ago but I missed his appearance. I was waiting until the in-store to get his book "The Cheese Monkeys", but since I missed it I just went and got it at Barnes and Nobles ( not the place where the in-store was at). It turns out that on his way to the bookstore he was signing at, he stopped at B&N and signed whatever copies they had of it and I got the last one. I think it says something witty, I'll have to look for it.
