CHRIS WARE'S Awesome Yet Rejected Fortune 500 Cover

Chris Ware is one of my favorite artists of all time. Want to know why? Just check out the Acme Novelty Theater and you'll begin to realize his genius. Recently Fortune magazine asked Chris to do the cover for their annual Fortune 500 issue where we get to see all the companies that are currently raping this Earth for a profit. Always one to be involved in satire Ware's cover was filled with jokes like U.S. Treasuring being raided by Wall Street, China dumping money into the ocean, homes being flooded, homes being foreclosed, CEOs dancing a jig while society devolves into chaos and even a slap at the Evil Cult known as the Tea Party. Here's the cover:

CHRIS WARE & NPR

It's been awhile since I posted any animation (yes I understand how that nullifies the whole Daily Animation idea so thanks and shut up) but today I found something by Chris Ware one of my favorite artists of all time. Ware put out (amongst other things) the Acme Novelty Company featuring Jimmy Corrigan the smartest boy in the world. Ware is heir to the Charles Schulz throne as the master of sensitive and extremely in depth characters for comics.

This is a short animated film Chris Ware did around a story from NPR's This American Life. I wish there was more of this stuff but for now enjoy this little gem.
