"Each morning, before starting work, I spend 30 minutes checking out This isn't happiness" apparently. Not that I have a problem with that.

Thanks.

Always look at Mr. Baker's files for that kickstart in the AM.

Thanks for this. Looks like Chris Ware did a reorganized but slightly obvious rip-off, aka "inspiration", for his Acme Novelty Library 17 from the 1930s News Atlas. Naysayers will say of course that "everything has been done before", "there is nothing new under the sun" etc etc.

Strange the way constructivism remains as attractive today as it did almost a century ago, especially considering what lay ahead for the movement that spawned it...
