Old Rope Comix
Did this whilst plastered (my leg,not my lifestyle)with a mate called Robin,around 1990.The idea was I would draw and he would sell.It was never quite that simple,and,having sold many a hundred copies of the first three issues (mostly in pubs round Eastbourne,Famous Centre of the World Underground Comic Movement),it ground to a halt with the fourth issue half completed.I'd like to put it down to artistic differencies but it was because he owed me £75 and buggered off.A bit like a Hollywood epic,but not.

Because who would read this stuff if they weren't stoned?
Comics sure have changed since I used to buy Richie Rich and Little Lulu as a kid.
Once the talk of the nation, Portland's Lloyd Center Mall has lost all its anchors and Orange Julius. Ten years ago I could have shopped at Norstrom, Macy's and Sears without leaving the building. Today vacancies outnumber occupied retail spaces, though mall management does its best to make the place look inviting.
At least on life support Lloyd Center no longer suffers from the bane of all shopping malls, too many sneaker stores. Instead, Pikachu and his/her/their tribe have multiplied like Tribbles under the florescent lights. Who would pay $12 for a package of Pokemon trading cards?
Then there's this establishment. Never in my life have I seen so many examples of this genre of publication. Some were recognizably zines, but the rest?
