City Limits Gazette # Ecstatic static on automatic (Mar. 1993)














Logo by Jeff Zenick, Harper's gives CLG some ink, Maximum Traffic on the Bizarros, CLG reader profile of Jerry Riddle, Minneapolis Ben Adams on Morty the Dog, Comix reviews by Lynn Hansen with logo by Jeff Snee, Maximum Traffic on Nixon, Bruce Sweeney's Underground Station with logo by Spain Rodriguez, Mike Stengl 20 years ago, Wayno on space fantasy stamps.

I'm including a scan of the actual Harper's piece. It is humorous they couldn't handle CLG's unique numbering system and had to shorten it a bit. Here's a link to the CLG in question. Initially attracted to CLG by the Bil Keane Watch, Harper's decided to focus on this librarian item instead. Fallout will follow.

Weird Al, who I admire tremendously, covered the issue number here better than anyone, Bil Keane Watch by Maximum Traffic, Jane Oliver dies and reading this almost two decades later still makes me angry and depressed and my eyes well up, Gary Usher donates rare comix to WSU, I endorse Bill Clinton in 1992, sick McCleary jokes, Bil Keane Watch with Mike Lee and Mark Campos, A Fragment of a Forthcoming Biography of Clay Geerdes (I wish Clay was still with us. I'd love to hear his opinions on the current trends. He'd be in his 70s and probably sitting at the head of the table, where he earned his place, pontificating. I miss him), Bruce Sweeney's Underground Station with logo by Jerry Riddle, another Bil Keane Watch by M. Stengl, readers give me grief over my belief that free will is a myth and print is dead-- two truisms I hold to this day.
