New York Stories. The New York Times Magazine has given a number of stories from its Metro desk to cartoonists to illustrate/adapt. The cartoonists featured include Kevin Huizenga, Tom Gauld, and David Mazzucchelli.

I started going through this, but the first story wouldn't load completely. I'll check back later!

Interesting concept. In one case it prompted me to read the original story. In a couple of the stories the text was hard to read because it was too small. And one story was almost entirely text, although the illustrations did add to the piece.

I liked An Amiable Child. It's a fine mix of historical speculation and gentle philosopical meditation and the artwork adds a warm tone to an otherwise sad story.
