City Limits Gazette # Milk of Human Kindness (Apr. 1992)
Logo by Mark Campos. Mark's logo here is one of my faves. OK, I might be coming across as a heretic here, but did Brando ever make an appearance in a movie that was worth a damn after The Godfather? I mean, he was always interesting to watch no matter how bad the film, but in his whole career you can count the really good films on one hand and still have enough fingers left over to deliver a Moe Howard style poke in the eyes to a pretentious film buff who declares Brando a genius.
Mark Campos and Nils Osmar weigh in on a panel discussion at Cartoonists Northwest, Comics F/X news, cartoonist Joe Sumrall murdered in Rainier Washington and the case has not been solved to this day, Bil Keane Watch, A.P. McQuiddy comments on Lynn Hansen, naked man quacks like a duck in a bank, comix reviews by Lynn Hansen, a tip of the hat to the great people at Pip (now out of business), comment by Ted Delorme, bad cover versions of She Loves You, She Said She Said, She's a Woman, She's Leaving Home, Something, Scott Johnson's resub.
