City Limits Gazette # ...---... (April 1991)
Uh, er, did I say the first issue of CLG was the only one printed in broadside format? Oops. Guess this one was as well.
The "cranky letter" I make reference to in the second news item had been published in The Comics Journal # 140 (Feb. 1991). I'm including the actual printed letter below. As you can see, the Family Circus zen party is being prepared.
City Limits Gazette # bezango (March 1991)
This issue of CLG might've been my first use of the word "Bezango" in print.
An innocent mention of King Features editor Jay Kennedy and his connection with Family Circus artist Bil Keane is the first fine line crack in the dam that will soon burst.
I provide a brief synopsis on the comix career of Ronald Gabriel Vicens II, better known as "Gato."
Bad cover versions of And I Love Her, And Your Bird Can Sing, Ask Me Why, Baby You're a Rich Man, Baby's In Black, Back in the USSR, Ballad of John and Yoko, Because, Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite, Birthday, Blackbird, Blue Jay Way, Can't Buy Me Love, Come Together, Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill.

Gato's final letter
City Limits Gazette # ... (March 1991)
News on John E., a Walt Rodgers drawing, Bruce Chrislip's Cartoonists City column, Clay Geerdes responds to Chrislip, bad cover versions of Across the Universe, All My Loving, and All You Need is Love. The very last sentence on page 4 is a bit chilling since my fellow listed major WSU Library comix collection donors are no longer with us.
