Then came along Lemony Snicket and his Series of Unfortunate Events. Wow, those books made hardbacks retro and cool and I remember picking up the first one and saying to myself, "these things are the bees knees!"

BOY WAS I WRONG! I don't mean to shout, but I need to say it again: I WAS DEAD WRONG!
Flipping through them the other day, I discovered the most incredible hidden gem of 2007. I discovered this:

What is that, you say? Why it's a serialized comic by Michael Kupperman, one of the most hilarious and fun cartoonists out there. It turns out that each and every volume of the paperback editions of A Series of Unfortunate Events has a supplement entitled "HarperCollins's The Cornucopian Cavalcade", with comics and a serialized story by Stephen Leacock, and a self-help column entitled "What Shall I Do, Lemony Snicket?"
It just goes to show, you never know what kind of great things are hiding between the covers of even those books you think you know!
