For the long-distance nerd If you�d like to strike up a pen-palship with a friend, So-So Heroes (Chronicle Books, $9.95) by local cartoonist Paul Hornschemeier is a good place to start. Hornschemeier�s crisply drawn weirdos adorning the front of each detachable postcard in this collection include the nihilist CountMeOutDracula and a lumberjack left-hooking a three-headed sea serpent. Happy holidays! Available at Quimby�s, 1854 W North Ave (773-342-0910).
