Man that book was good though. I knew a few people who put measuring tape on the walls after reading it.

I have it and still haven’t started. I should.

I have a laser measurer!

All the footnotes

I’m only 100 pages into Infinite Jest right now, I am horrible familiar with footnotes…

Very cool. What's the third panel from? It doesn't ring a bell.

I was expecting one of them to be on a cane and calling the other a liar while popping vicodin

I really loved this 😂

This book sucked. The typesetting and format gimmicks were totally wasted on it. I did like the celebrity cameos.

The comic is pretty funny though.
