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.

City Limits Gazette # The world is so big and we are so small, yet we're turning it to shit in no time at all (Dec. 1992)


















Logo by Maximum Traffic, Evergreen Mafia, CLG 1992 index, Ricardo Nancy McJacksonstein responds to Max, Bil Keane Watch by Jeff Snee, CLG reader profile of Brad Foster, yet another Bil Keane Watch by Russell Rose, ye gods another Bil Keane Watch by Bryan Willis, (sigh) another Bil Keane Watch by Maximum Traffic, Ahab the cat 1982-1992, Comics Journal small press index by Gary Usher.

The "Evergreen Mafia" article cited above is included here. I'm guessing David George was the editor who reprinted this profile. David no doubt supplied the names of us lesser knowns, padding the list a bit within those square brackets since we were not listed in the original piece. The term "Evergreen Mafia" was first coined by Jay Kennedy ca. 1982.
