If you have a sense of humor (and you must, or why would you put up with me?) and any kind of appreciation for classic animation at all (Disney, Warner Bros., and the like), you are required to go to your local comic book store and throw some sort of raving fit until your comic retailer coughs up a copy of 'Three Fingers' by Rich Koslowski. (Yes, that Rich Koslowski, of 3 Geeks fame.)
You can also order it online here; just scroll down the page until you see the title in question. Be forewarned: it's a graphic novel, not a comic book, and costs about US$15.
'Three Fingers' is a dark and subversive 'television documentary' about the bad old days of cartoons in a world that never quite existed, as seen through both the eyes of the humans and the toons involved. If you understand what I mean when I say it's like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? filtered through The Cowboy Wally Show, then you're exactly the type of person who should be reading this book.
I haven't loved a graphic novel this much in a long, long time, and I take my comic book geekery very seriously. Almost as seriously as I take my animation geekery, and, well, this GN is my reward. Highly recommended.
Three fingers up.
