    
Buttery, with a hint of rosemary
November 22, 2006
Artist Chris Ware has bedazzled bedecked this month's The New Yorker with four different Thanksgiving-themed covers. The NY website also features a tie-in comic strip and a short MP3 interview. Good stuff, if you are hip to Ware's meticulous, designerly style. Love that 4th cover ("Main Course").
It's like a high-brow version of the multi-cover gimmicks comic book companies would push on "investment speculators" (and college students with more money than sense) in the early 90's. Why only buy the regular edition of Ghost Rider #1 when you can snag an over-priced glow-in-the-dark variant cover as well? Sign me up, Shopkeep! Ah, good times.
