Book Description
A one-mouse theater of the absurd. Quimby the Mouse is the second book from Chris Ware; his first book, Jimmy Corrigan (Pantheon, 2000), has been widely acclaimed as one of the medium's finest graphic novels in history and was the winner of the prestigious Guardian First Book Award for 2001.
Cleverly appropriated old-fashioned animation imagery and advertising styles of the 1920s and 1930s are put to use in Quimby at the service of modern vignettes of angst and existentialism. As this cartoon silhouette of a mouse ignominiously suffers at every turn, the spaces between the panels create despair and a Beckett-like rhythm of hope deceived and deferred (but never quite extinguished), buoying Quimby from page to page.
Like Ware's first book, Quimby is saturated with Ware's genius, including consistently amazing graphics, insanely perfectionist production values, cut-out-and-assemble paper projects, and the formal complexity of his narratives that have earned him the reputation as one of the most prodigious artists of his generation.

Las historieta del siglo XXI.......2007-01-19
Chris Ware demuestra como ningún otro autor, las posibilidades únicas del noveno arte en esta recopilación de comics del Ratón Quimby y su amigo Sparky. Un libro que no puede faltar en ninguna biblioteca de comics.
Heartbreakingly funny and touching.......2004-05-17
This book showcases works mainly published in the author's college newspaper, and as he points out with humor and apologies in tiny print, are mainly a request of his publisher after the success of "Jimmy Corrigan". The scenes in his comics are each different, each experimental in a way. And if you take the time (and I highly suggest you do) to read all the fine print scattered throughout the book, you will find that he drops the shield of humor and sarcasm in parts, to tell an autobiographical account of his life at the time he was creating the "Quimby" strips. After reading this, it is apparent that all of them carry a deep personal meaning for the author, and even without that knowledge - they would be fantastic. With it though, they are heartbreaking, thoughtful, and amusing - more often all three at the same time. Chris Ware has an amazing gift.
Another Slim Volume from the Master.......2004-02-05
Nice layout and lettering almost makes up for the unfunny mouse cartoons and the miniscule text of the "confessional" autobiographical ramblings of this "genius". Gorgeous colors. Exquisite cover. Some of the pages have been "defaced". Mrs. Knoll thinks this book is "Beautiful". You will too. Bravo, Mr. Ware, bravo. 5 stars.
Review of Quimby and more-so, revue of Quimby's revues..........2003-12-08
Quimby the mouse is very very good; better than any of the pretentious little comics that Fantagraphics calls "the best..blah blah blah..works of art...blah...of the century!" Honestly, most of them aren't better than the Marvel and DC comics that they facetiously mock (I'd much rather meet Batman than David Boring).
I am not going to tell you it's "the best thing I've read all year (!)" or "true brilliance (!)" like some excited putzy twerp who thinks they've found a niche for themselves in comics ("Oh why don't I fit in anywhere! woe is me! nobody understand my art pain!")
It's just good. Very good. That's all. Quit reading.
All of these long revues are worthless. look at the stars, go with the gut.
Chris Ware is the most amazing talent of this era........2003-08-29
I will start off by saying that Chris Wares Masterpiece, Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid on Earth, is the best graphic novel ever produced, and should serve as the example of how true graphic novels, so long pushed to the fringes of acceptable reading, alongside the latest issues of X-Men, and Batman comics, can be one of the most engaging, and expressive forms of literature. As a comic fan I don't mean any disrespect to other comic books, I grew up reading them, and still do read some. But I don't read works like Jimmy Corrigan as a regular comic book. In fact this graphic novel fails in the comic book format, and you couldn't possibly experience it as it was intended when it was originally delivered over quite a few years in seperate volumes of Wares comic series The Acme Novelty Library. It was obviously a great work when released at long intervals, but in order to truely apreciate it you must read it all together, and prefferably in one sitting. Then you take in everything, with no months, or even years of time to errode what you have read before.
Quimby The Mouse, as a collection of previous weekly newspaper strips, and other comics, doesn't have the grand overall story of Jimmy Corrigan, but it also never fails to deliver any of the emotion, honesty, and visual amazement of the later masterpiece. Wares use of the comic strip to discuss his dealing with the death of his grandmother is just as moving as the semi-autobiographical Jimmy Corrigan's dealing with meeting his long estranged father, though a bit more non linear, and abstract in many parts (though quite to the point in some). With the release of this book, and also that of his sketchbooks (under the name of The Acme Novelty Datebook Volume One) This man shows that he puts truth and his real feelings in everything he does, even the most simple, and silly of comics. All of his work makes one feel as if there is more to it than just what you are seeing on the page, or is even possible to understand by simply reading the strips. In fact often to get everything out of a particular strip you must decipher different paths leading you through various overlapping sets of panels that, when followed correctly, tell you the story of everything in said strip, from a tree in the yard, to a pocket full of change.
Ware is a master whose works deserve to be taught in college literature courses, and art schools alike. If any one person could ever finally raise the graphic novel to an acceptable level in the art world then Chris Ware is that person, and he doesn't even have to try to do as much. All he has to do is keep creating works such as he already has, and the future will look back on him as the person who opened the door for graphic novels to become more than just the weirdo cousin of Spiderman and the like. I look forward to anything else that he decides to bring us in the future.

Book Description
Diseases, the second volume in the four volume set,
The Mouse in Biomedical Research, departs from the first edition, by discussing specific disease causing microorganisms, rather than the format used in the first edition which discussed infectious diseases affecting specific organs and tissues. As such, the volume consists of 26 chapters subdivided into RNA viruses and DNA viruses, as well as bacterial, mycotic, and parasitic infections. These chapters not only provide updates on pathogenesis, epidemiology and prevention of previously recognized murine pathogens, but also include information on newly recognized disease-causing organisms: mouse parvovirus, cilia associated respiratory bacilli and Helicobacter spp. A separate category, consisting of 3 chapters, discusses zoonoses, tumor pathology of genetically engineered mice, and spontaneous diseases in commonly used mouse strains.
Book Description
History, Wild Mice, and Genetics, the first volume in the four volume set,
The Mouse in Biomedical Research, provides information about the history, biology and genomics of the laboratory mouse (Mus musculus), as well as basic information on maintenance and use of mouse stocks. Mouse origins and relationships are covered in chapters on history, evolutionary taxonomy and wild mice. Genetics and genomics of the mouse are covered in chapters on genetic nomenclature, gene mapping, cytogenetics and the molecular organization of the mouse genome. Maintenance of laboratory mice is described in chapters on breeding systems for various types of strains and stocks and genetic monitoring. Use of the mouse as a model system for basic biomedical research is described in chapters on chemical mutagenesis, gene trapping, pharmacogenetics and embryo manipulation. The information in Volume 1 serves as a primer for scientists new to the field of mouse research.

Book Description
Immunology, the third volume in the four volume set,
The Mouse in Biomedical Research, is a completely new addition to this series, dedicated to mouse immunology. It is based on the vast body of knowledge which has made the mouse the model of choice when studying immunity in man. Arguably more is known about the immune system in mice than any other species except man. In large part this is due to the power of genetic engineering to delineate molecular mechanisms. In this volume we present an Overview to mouse immunology, including both the innate and adaptive immune systems, followed by 15 chapters, each dealing with a specific area of immunology in the mouse. These chapters illustrate the power of genetic engineering in dissecting each component of the immune response from the development of lymphoid tissues to signal transduction pathways in activated cells.

4 Books in the classic children's series about Ramona Quimby.
Book Description
There are over 13 million people in the world currently blogging, but what about the blogs written by the iconic men and women who (unfortunately) died before the Internet was even invented? In this witty and original take on the most important technological development since spam, THE LOST BLOGS offers hundreds of blogs from the most famous minds in history, detailing their hysterically personal (and impersonal) revelations, such asJohn Lennons thoughts after meeting a young woman named Yoko Ono (and her strange interest in the Beatles publishing rights)Tips of the trade from Jesus Christs carpentry blog, including how to build a combination water and wine rackShakespeares treatment for a new play about two princes who misplace their horse and carriage and spend the entire play trying to locate itHow a stray hot dog nearly derailed Ghandis hunger strikeJim Morrisons original lyrics to Light My Fire (what does smell like a burning tire?)And the missing two cents from everyone else who matters, proving theres no such thing as too much information.

Laughing at a Washed-Up Writer in a Mid-Life Crisis.......2007-06-15
As The Lost Blogs is fictional, so is Davidson's washed up career as a comedian, author and blogger. Men in Midlife Crisis Davidson even creates fake fans on his site he chats with because he has no life.The Lonely Guy He accuses retired celebrities Little Darlings of stalking him The Paranoid's Pocket Guide and lives in a dump neighborhood in Sherman Oaks. When he's not on his blog creating fake fans to adore him on forums, he organizes flaming parties of people who see through his little act.
Davidson's publisher wasn't interested in investing much money into promoting his book so he has to buy his own copies to hand out for free to try and keep up the sales figures to below a 500,000 ranking on Amazon.The Masquerade Overture
better than watching comedy central..........2006-05-12
Need your internet fix? Need a good laugh? Wonder what Socrates (and other historical notables) would have written in his blog? Paul Davidson has hit your triangle of needs with his book, "The Lost Blogs." It is hilarious--and if you happen to be reading it on the can you'll have people wondering why there's laughter coming out of the bathroom.
It's a bit odd to read a "blog" (which is born out of an electronic format) in print, but the content is so marvelous that you forget it immediately! And best of all, no carpal tunnel syndrome from vicious mouse clicking.
There are amazing stats that say most writers only write one good book, and that the 2nd book is an enormous hurdle. But...the guy who wrote Consumer Joe, has struck again!
Lost.......2006-05-08
I lost my copy of The Lost Blogs. I read it way back in March during SXSW because, hey, what better time to read a blog book then when I'm out amongst the blogeratti? I whipped through it and chuckled regularly, smirking often and unable to stifle full blown laughter in a few points. It appears I'm a sucker for 2 types of nerdy blog humor: Historical blog entries from extremely positive but naive people (when John Lennon blogs about his first meeting with Yoko Ono) and accurate portrayals of blog & web geekdom ( the 3am comment war between William Randolph Hearst and Orson Welles on Welles's Citizen Kane Blog). Paul writes lots more in that style and you should be greatful for that. Too bad I couldn't keep my head together enough to remember to pick it up off the night stand before I got in a cab and got on a plane.
I'm a little wary about books that read like blogs. The blog, by it's nature, requires some action by their readers. Click here. Respond to this. Watch this video. See these pictures. There are some points in The Lost Blogs when I want my mouse. I want access to Moses' webring. I want to see the pictures and tech specs of his Holy Portable Communication Device. The blog is a unique medium. It is not quite like writing for print which is why many bloggers turned authors aren't very good and don't produce quality work.
Thankfully, Paul is accomplished and talented in both worlds and The Lost Blogs is still an excellent read despite it's lack of hotlinks.
Maybe in the future we'll have full creative fiction blog projects adeptly put together by both skilled writers and witty web professionals who can create a real honest-to-goodness blook. Until then, though, we'll keep reading The Lost Blogs and like it.
That is if I hadn't lost our Lost Blogs in Austin.
WARNING: Don't Drink Milk While Reading "The Lost Blogs".......2006-05-07
I thought it would be a good idea to have some milk while reading this hilarious book. BIG MISTAKE.
I started laughing in mid-drink and instead of going down to my tum-tum, the dairy exploded from my nostrils and doused the person sitting next to me on the airplane.
Several apologies and cocktail napkins later, I put the experience behind me and once again immersed myself into the funny.
The book reads so easily and is so engaging, it lulled me into compIacency and I started taking several long drinks of milk without thinking. I was reading the Ghandi entry, it made me start laughing and SHWOOOSH!! Milk squirted all over my lap and splashed my neighbor once more. This time, he wasn't quite as understanding. The vibe was icy all the way to JFK.
Oh well, at least he had the window seat and I had the rest of "The Lost Blogs" to read.
I love Paul Davidson.......2006-05-01
As the proud of owner of a rather beat up copy of Consumer Joe, I was giddy with excitement when I received my pre-ordered copy of The Lost Blogs and let me tell you, Mr. Davidson did not let me down.
He is one funny man. I have giggled out loud and have even had a few guffaws come out of me while reading this book. I think it would make a great gift and I plan on putting it in our reception area, much like I did Consumer Joe. Clients love to read it and it makes me happy to have clients have a good laugh while they are at my place of employment. Don't we all need a good laugh sometimes?
Thank you, Paul Davidson, for making me laugh.
Go buy this book.
