Morty Comix # 2588

 Morty Comix # 2588 had a rather convoluted journey to its distribution point



 
After I drew the thing, I cut it up into strips and used a staple gun to attach the dissected comic onto a stick. This stick was in fact part of a garden stake I had used as part of a 2007 art exhibit of Bezango WA 985




Then I pounded the stake into the ground at the Rock Candy Mountain intersection on SR 8 near Summit Lake. A traffic cam is there. For a few hours this Morty Comix was included in the image, if you can make out that white spot in the right hand corner.




But as the clouds grew darker, I rescued the Morty Comix from rain and put it in an envelope, then in a plastic bag, and sealed it with man's best friend-- duct tape. These are instruments in the dynamics of change

Then I grabbed some clothesline and clothespins (also from that Bezango exhibit) as I formed a new plan.
Nirvana fans might be aware that one of the few tourist attractions here in McCleary is the mileage sign on SR8 where Cobain and Novoselic were photographed highlighting the 666 numbers.




Early this morning I paid a visit to that sign, which has been lowered, planning to somehow tie the Morty Comix to the thing. But to my delight the holes in the posts provided a great opportunity for me to pigeonhole this issue.

The End.

  1. Rock Candy Mountain! That's a real place?! Lemonade springs and cigarette trees! Sounds like Nirvana. Enjoyable tale of distribution.
