The Bookworm Beat 1/12/15 — The must-see illustrated edition, and Open Thread

I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is one of the best illustrated editions I’ve ever published (with many thanks to Caped Crusader and Earl). The last year has been clarifying, and that shows up in the incredibly forceful, pithy posters that thinking people are creating. There are a lot here but, if you don’t want to look at all of them, just look at the first few, which are my favorites.
