Did you miss us? Books in 140 Seconds is back after a brief, Canada Reads-induced hiatus. And yet this week’s video still has a CR bent, since Erin and I will be talking about Sweet Tooth, another project by Jeff Lemire (of Essex County fame). Regular viewers will be familiar with our penchant for post-apocalyptic graphic novels (see Y: The Last Man and Quarter-Life Crisis), and this one is no different. Here’s what we had to say:
We’re back on our regular Books in 140 Seconds schedule, so come back in two weeks as Erin and I rave about Friday Night Lights in a post-meeting (and post-wine consumption) recap of our reco from the most recent meeting.

Great video! Just curious, does Lemire acknowledge any debt of inspiration to Fallout Boy’s Sugar, We’re Going Down video? Or perhaps they themselves stole the idea from somewhere. Weird, these humans-with-antlers with sugar/sweetness fixations.
Hmmm, I didn’t notice. That is quite a specific fixation though. Maybe Erin remembers…
