It's
that time of year again when I take a few of my favourite pieces here
and compile them into a print digest format, which you can then pick up
and read just like we did in the old days, pa. These are put together
by a team of top-notch graphic designers then compiled using the
latest cutting-edge laser technology, and anyone who saw me at the
copier in my local shop just now... that's purely a co-incidence,
honest!
These
worth... I mean priceless items will be available
for public perusal at tomorrow's Alternative Press
Fair, the impending alt-comics convention Caption, Comics Friends
United and possibly even other places.
(I
first started doing these as calling-cards for the blog, but as far
as I can figure out there seems to be little or no audience
overlap, like print and pixel are just two different channels. But I
keep doing them out of some inner peversity.)
...all
of which seems as good a time as any to remind ourselves of the
tag-lines used for the original Olde Printe Versions of 'Lucid
Frenzy'...
“The
world's not impersonal perzine”
“Despite
popular demand!”
“Too
young to live! Too dull to die!”
“Raising
the bar on lowering the tone for... oh, about a year or so now.”
“Not
dead! Just not smelling too good!”
“Too
damn stupid to know when to lie down and die!”
“It's
back! And it's baaaaaaad! (The term “bad” is not used here in the
“wicked” sense.)”
“Make
way for more age without wisdom...”
“Nine
instances of neither use nor ornament!”
“Never
knowingly understood.”
...finishing
on my personal favourite...
“Who
will stem this flow of ill-informed outpourings from the pen of the
stalk that walks?”
Incidentally
there is no point asking for copies of the original print 'Lucid
Frenzy.' Not because I don't have any left. There's just no
point...
Coming
soon! Some new stuff, honest!
