Cosmiccomics by Italo Calvino

How can I not love short stories where a narrator named "Qfwfq" affectionately and seriously recalls events in the history of the universe, like when the moon was within jumping (or at least laddder) distance of the earth, or the first sign ever created as a galaxy revolved around the universe and anxiously waited 200 million years to return to his sign and see if anyone had noticed it?
