Unshelved

My friend Bill has been writing Unshelved for a bunch of years now. He's self-published three volumes of the strip and has sold a whole mess of Unshelved-related merchandise. It's just fantastic to me that he has built up these characters, every day, for so long --- and consistently stayed funny.

Unshelved basically follows the staff of the Mallville public library (I particularly like the town sports team, the "Mallville Shoppers"). The focal character is Dewey, the cynical pop-culture-obsessed "young adult" librarian. I won't go into the whole crew here; take a look at the Unshelved primer for that.

Go read it --- now! And while you're there, marvel at the over-designed web site and commerce engine that Bill wrote. Still a dork, Bill.
