Dachau, Germany
Coordinates: 48 15 N 11 26 E
Population: 40,570 (2007 est.)
The old village and sixteenth-century palace here attest to the fact that Dachau, located just north of Munich on the Amper River in Upper Bavaria, has been inhabited for centuries. In spite of such history however, it will forever be remembered as the site of the first Nazi concentration camp. When it was established in March 1933, the former munitions factory held just under 5,000 prisoners but in a little more than a decade, the population had swelled to more than 14 times that number. American forces liberated Dachau on April 29, 1945. Visitors who enter what remains of the walled camp today will find the foundations of numerous barracks, the crematorium, gas chambers, a museum in the main building, and numerous memorials scattered around the grounds.

NBM is putting up a weekly art blog by Lewis Trondheim to promote his upcomingbook LITTLE NOTHINGS:
LITTLE NOTHINGS Vol.1: The Curse of the Umbrella
The great talent behind the new generation in Europe, the Dungeon series, A.L.I.E.E.E.N. and Mr. O, pours his heart out in funny snippets of everyday life. His paranoia, little annoyances, big annoyances, chase of rainbows, love of comics, travel impressions from around the world, dealing with kids, being a kid: it’s all about life as we know it. A collection from his comics blog that expands his palette with full color painting, one can only be awed at Trondheim’s uncanny sense of observation and relate to all his experiences closely. Another touch of genius by one of today’s best and most influential comic artists.
6×9, 128pp., full color trade pb. with flaps, $14.95, ISBN 978-1-56163-523-8
God. I so totally effing love Trondheim that I can hardly stand waking up and facing mornings where there isn’t a new Trondheim book to read there and then.
Did you know that everyone is alien? Actually, they are robots.
I have this book in French, and it is brilliant. I have been a fan of Trondheim for years, but this is my favorite thing that he’s done. Volume 2 is on its way…
Given time, the kitty always wins.
