Comic Book Guy goes out of business because an alternative comic book store opens across the street, providing a better and cooler service to the kids of Springfield. The Simpsons attend an in-store signing with Maus author Art Spiegelman, Watchmen author and notorious recluse Alan Moore, and Daniel Clowes, creator of Ghost World. Unsurprisingly, Lisa Simpson is a Ghost World fan, because it makes her feel "less alone." She'd totally be a Jezebel reader if she were human!

If I had a "type," Brad Renfro would have been it. Especially looking at his mugshot. He's so hot in it. And in Larry Clark's Bully, too, in which he's pretty much shirtless the whole time. I can't say I was shocked when I learned he was found dead this week at age 25 — he's had a pretty public battle with drug addiction, and a whole slew of run-ins with the law (the best one being when he tried to steal a yacht in 2000, but was too wasted to remember to untie it from the dock, so he couldn't sail away). Anyway, it's nice that the media in general have recognized that he was way more talented and troubled beyond the stereotypical child-star syndrome. And Jezebel received so many emails from readers regarding his death — I had no idea that so many people cared so much about him. Sadly, he probably didn't either. Anyway, above is a clip from Ghost World, in which he plays the quintessential crush/whipping boy to his girl friends. R.I.P., man.
