Cartoons, in contrast: The Portland (Ore.) Tribune chats with singer Aimee Mann, whose latest CD, Lost in Space, includes a "gift with purchase" in the form of cartoons by Seth:

"I love the work of Ghost World artist Dan Clowes and wanted to do something in the same vein. The cartoons provide the contrast to the music that I was looking for. Because even when things are serious and you’re trying to talk about intense feelings, there’s can be a lightness and irony at the same time."
