1970s.

The campus and neighborhood just above that patch of green top center was my world 1980-1982. Just to the left is University Avenue, "The Ave." One day I ran into Lynda Barry on The Ave. and she pointed me to a print shop where you could reduce and enlarge images by yourself on a photocopier. At the time that was a major technological change for us independent pressers.
