Drew Friedman’s new book: Too Soon?: “

The inimitable Drew Friedman has a new hardcover book out of his incredible celebrity portraits and caricatures drawn over the last 15 years for The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, Business Week, Mojo, and a variety of other mags, books, and CD covers. Our pals at Fantagraphics published the handsome hardcover, titled Too Soon?: Famous/Infamous Faces 1995-2010. Jimmy Kimmel wrote the foreword and Rush Limbaugh endorsed it with this glowing review: ‘Of low artistic quality.’ See sample pages over at Drawger or pick up a copy for $20 at Amazon. Congratulations, Drew!

If only someone had been holding the Emperor accountable and publishing the truth, maybe Admiral Ackbar would have known it was a trap in advance. The #wookieleaks tag on Twitter is a work of pure awesomeness, including Ewok intelligent design and the lack of WMDs on Alderaan. Update: As ElSpanielo points out, there’s also a #Wookieeleaks tag.
