While searching for ideas for a "site slogan" - was "Not for Mr & Mrs Everybody" - I stumbled upon a kind of "comic book" which I suspect Holden and Raul would appreciate. Currently I am going with "Only the truthful are able to receive the truth." (from poem,
The Hyperborian Winter)
You must know by now that I am a complicated bundle of nerves who is difficult to pigeonhole into any kind of label. As my nephew said about himself recently, "I am what I am."
Let me know what you think of OZ 16 (The Magic Theatre). You can inspect it without downloading it

OZ 16 - The Magic TheatreDescription
The Magic Theatre refers to Hermann Hesse’s novel Steppenwolf, “Entrance not for everybody. Price of admittance, your mind and 3 shillings”. Robert Hughes, author of The Shock of the New, said of this issue, “Sharp has assembled one of the richest banks of images that has ever appeared in a magazine”. The next issue of Oz described OZ 16 thus: “Sharp and Von Mora invite you to the Magic Theatre. Mixed media non copy. The worst selling most praised Oz ever”.
