Nursery Rhyme Comics is OUT!

Do a little jig, folks, because as of yesterday the world is just a little brighter.

NRC

Edited by the redoutable Chris Duffy, with an introduction by the resplendent Leonard Marcus, and featuring fifty really remarkable cartoonists, this book gets my ready, resounding recommendation! It makes me laugh, it makes me think, and it makes me run around shoving it in peoples' faces, saying Look what we did! We made this!

In honor of Nursery Rhyme Comics, then, my favorite nursery rhyme (and the one I use on all social media profiles to describe myself):

 

There was an old woman, and what do you think?

She lived upon nothing but victuals and drink.

Victuals and drink were the chief of her diet,

And yet this old woman could never keep quiet!

 

What's your favorite nursery rhyme?
