EDIT: Oh, that's Ben Jones as the teleporting man! EDIT AGAIN: Oh, but not "Ben Jones the cartoonist" Ben Jones but "Ben Jones Ray's brother-in-law" Ben Jones.

Here's a cool thing that Ray Fenwick has done: pattern designs for a series of books from Houghton Mifflin in which two of an author's works are bound together as one volume. See them individually on Ray's Flickr.

[A brief meta note: I'm trying a different approach to "Things to See," spotlighting certain things with individual posts, rounding up regularly-featured items in omnibus posts as before, and possibly moving some links to the "Weekend Webcomics" posts. Feedback is welcome.]
