Morty Comix # 2597
Morty Comix # 2597 is part of the unseen art of the Obscuro Bezango show in the Future Tenant gallery in downtown Pittsburgh. As we were setting up, I taped it on the inside door of the electrical panel.

Obscuro Bezango Show 4
By the time I arrived most of the setup work was already done, but there were plenty of last minute details to work out.
Mike "Worker Poet" Hill also showed up. Both of us were documenting each other documenting the show.
Just about done. But one detail remained. On the far end you see a flat display with a red cover over it. Tom asked me to remove that cover and roll it up ...

Picking up the programs at Sir Speedy in Butler, Pennsylvania.
... And when I did he surprised me with a display of my own work!
For a few seconds I couldn't speak.

Morty Comix # 2596
Morty Comix # 2596 was left on some trim behind a chair in a Bob Evans restaurant in Moon Township, Pennsylvania. Bruce Chrislip calls this chain "Blob Evans," and the satisfied local character in the last photo illustrates this point.
Postcard - Tumwater, Washington
"Olympia Brewing Company, Olympia, Washington. The Olympia Brewery is located on Interstate 5, just south of Olympia, Wash. It was founded in 1896 and is often cited as one of America's exceptional breweries. Visitors are always welcome, 8:00 to 4:30 daily, except Christmas Day."
I'm going to guess mid-1970s. Yes, we know, the Brewery was actually in Tumwater, although downtown Oly is clearly visible in the distance.

Obscuro Bezango Show 3
Tom Rehm had been housing Maximum Traffic's Machine to Take Over the World at his cabin up in Butler County, Pennsylvania. We disassembled the piece, squeezed the thing into the back of a van, and reassembled it at the Future Tenant gallery in Pittsburgh. This interactive work of art became the centerpiece of the Obscuro Bezango show.
