Wizzywig

My father-in-law went into a store with a wide selection of graphic novels, described me to the bookseller, and walked out with this Christmas gift. I took one look at the title and said, “Oh yeah, Wizzywig, that's how you pronounce the acronym.” That was met with blank looks. “What You See Is What You Get,” I explained. “Wizzywig.” That got less blank looks.

Wizzywig is a graphic novel about a hacker in the early days of hacking. It was pretty interesting and tosses out some arcane bits of information, some of which I've come across in other articles, podcasts, what-have-you. It was pretty interesting stuff though artistically nothing to crow about. Pretty standard black-and-white panels. One thing it does well is unglamorize the hacking life.
