1st edition. Olympia, Washington : The Evergreen State College, January 1992. Enlarged digest size. I'm just scanning the front and inside covers here.
A look at the contents page (by Ed Martin) is most interesting. Matt Groening, Lynda Barry, and your faithful pixel correspondent were already considered old guys almost 20 years ago!!! Jeez. A milepost worth noting for this blog.
By now the three of us must be in the fossil category.
Of this second generation of Evergroove cartoonists, I've met Edward Martin III, Cat Kenney, and Megan Kelso.
Ed was a student worker in the Evergreen library when I was employed there as Head of Cataloging 1986-1988. I liked his creativity and he was a fun conversationalist. It seems today he is a film director.
Cat Kenney, who I always liked both as an artist and person, worked in a local comic shop for awhile. She was the one who first alerted me that my work was woven into Understanding Comics.
This book has a very early example of Megan's work. I had the pleasure of meeting her this year at the Olympia Comics Fest.
I like the nice visual directory of the artists on the back cover. The previous Evergreen cartoonists anthology, Tales From the Steam Tunnels (1981), couldn't do that since most of us had already graduated when that title was published.
