Random Reflections 1976

1st edition, summer 1976, Olympia, Washington, 100 copies, 30 leaves, olive covers, light blue pages, stapled at edge.

Another cringeworthy comic that will never be reprinted as long as I'm alive. It was my misfortune to make 100 of these and I can only hope most of them no longer exist. This is one of those comix I wish would just vanish from memory and existence. But I shut my eyes real tight, and when I reopen them this damn book is still there, mocking me. I'm scanning and posting one page as a sample and that's all you are going to see.

At the time I was drawing this I lived a house with a bunch of students (actually I was a dropout at that point, but I did go back to school). It was a run down dwelling on Olympia's East Bay Drive, but it had a great view. Here's a photo of the artist as a young dog on the back dock of the house during the time this book was being created. That's downtown Olympia in the background. I think I had a job working in a summer school as a teacher's aide with developmentally disabled children in the summer of '76.
