HILITES OF UPKOMING ISSUE NO. 9

.......* * * *

Tune in to our award-winning Web site for the following late-autumnal treetz:

  • A scintillating essay by scintillating essayist and bon vivante Ima Lyttle Derrybarr, “Milk Wagons,” revealing all and more than you wanted to know about the equine transport of lactose products.
  • A riveting report on small-town amateur theatrics in the most distant stix, in a survey of next year’s agenda for the ANGINA-AORTA PLAYERS, of Melonville, Illinois.  Bound to make you hanker for the roaring greasepaint and stinking crowd.
    • A kolossal komikbook koup, reprints from the fearfully rare issue No. 1, Vol. 1 of J.J. Comix, devoted to the works of James Joyce, with many panels reproduced in full color.  A jolt not to be missed for severe kartoon addicts everywhere.
      • A musty rarity from ancient little-mag files, in the form of short fiction from editor William J. Schafer, a mordant visit to a missing Amerika, the world of Salinger-ridden youth, “Spudnut.”  Find out why, in the grimy Spudnut Donut shop’s terlet, “It does no good to stand upon the seat.”
        • Your quarterly visit to the VeryMiddle of the Middle Ages in many more pages of gobstopping adventures with the Olde Ffolke of Days of Wine and Seizures.  Fasten your seatbelts and put your seats and tray tables in the upright position as we rotate the nose wheel and head for the wide blew, yonder.

          AND MANY MORE!!!
