A couple of interesting links…

I believe that someone tweeted about Jimmy Corrigan being an activity book for adults, and I find it funny that there’s a blog called “Toy-A-Day” where there is a paper Jimmy replica. It looks like it was cut out of the zoetrope instructions from the book.

Jimmy as a paper toy.

Also, there’s a line of Jimmy Corrigan action figures. They look a bit worried and dreary, but the likeness of Stewie is unmistakable. The “vinyl” dolls as they are called are no longer for sale on most retail websites, but is adorable and worrisome at the same time.

Finally, there’s an article speculating about the origins of the Jimmy Corrigan-esque Stewie. Ware’s quote is pretty funny, “”a little too coincidental to be simply, well, coincidental” but adds that he’ll try his best to shrug it off. ”If I let it get the better of me, I wouldn’t get any work done,” notes Ware. ”I’d just sit around and stew about it.” I imagine Ware sitting apathetically much like Jimmy, awkwardly laughing “haha.”
