The publication is sort of a extra subversive MAD with a focus on primitive rocknroll, kooky pop song and artwork course by means of anyone like R. Crumb. Our faves comprise an essay on Killer Monster Punk storage tune and The Hounds consultant to purchasing Re-Issues."

"Connoisseurs of the weird have a bountiful flea industry of vaguely dated junk to discover, together with a extraordinarily creepy interview with Gumby writer paintings Clokey, an in-depth characteristic on imprecise Hawaiian exotica documents and sufficient entirely inexplicable and vulgar cartoons that you'll think R. Crumb being a huge fan. if you enjoy failed show-business stories, the sporadic contributions of Andy Breckman, a former SNL employees author and Don fresh tourmate, are chortle out loud highlights at any time when they seem.
