Chris Ware celebrates the long-awaited release of Acme Novelty Library #21 with a limited run of events in Columbus, Chicago, and New York.

The 21st volume of The ACME Novelty Library comes of age just in time to stress-test the 250th anniversary of America’s ongoing indulgence of humanity’s most venal appetites behind a threadbare scrim of lofty and perfidious constitutional ideals.
