An ace up your sleeve The makers of the Trebuchette have developed a new laser-cut toy that clips standard playing cards together into almost anything you can imagine: towering columns, rolling wheels, blimps, even whole cars. The Starter Pack will get you going, but ambitious builders will want to try the aptly named Architect Pack. Only the sky (or at least the ceiling) is the limit.

TX Minneapolis-based design studio Aesthetic Apparatus originally created the VALUCO font as part of a project parodying the classic "OPEN" sign seen in store windows. After scoring a hit with hilarious alternate signage like "Sorry, we're DRUNK," they're ready to bring this stylish font to the people. Yes, we're EXCITED! EXPLORE THIS PROJECT A lovable monster To the protagonist of graphic novel The City Troll, all we have to say is this: dude, we've totally been there. Paul is an everyday guy with extremely low self-esteem, who sees himself as a weird-and-wacky monster every time he looks in the mirror. The story follows him as he navigates the pits and prat-falls of life, like love triangles, jealousy, self- deprecation, and hippie Dads. Who can't relate to that?!
