We Love You So – Where The Wild Things Are – Spike Jonze

San Francisco is a town of many pleasant associations. To start, there’s sourdough bread, Pier 7, 826 Valencia, the Embarcadero, fog, Keith Hufnagel, Barry McGee, burritos, bridges, hills, bookstores, FTC, Amoeba, and so forth. The list goes on.

That’s why it’s particularly exciting that Issue 33 of McSweeney’s Quarterly comes to us in the form of a faux Sunday-edition sized San Francisco newspaper, the fictionally titled San Francisco Panorama (above, a sample page). The issue features news dispatches, sports and arts coverage, comics from Chris Ware, Dan Clowes and Art Spiegelman, three pull-out posters, a books section, a weekend guide and more. The best part? It will be sold on the streets of San Francisco. For those unlucky enough to live elsewhere, copies can be scored online.
