. . . And, they’re done! Roy Adkins graciously took a few hours today to help me finish laying the new Sandusky Review out and now all that’s left is to sit around rubber cementing Polaroids to the cover! (That way you can peel them off and frame them or use them as bookmarks or, in the far-flung future, currency).
The cover is 8,000 better than the mock-up I did a while back and I’m really, really excited. Sir Speedy did a great job copying the whole gig and to those of you who’ve ordered one, they should start making their way to you soon. There are more than enough to go around, so if you haven’t ordered yet, do so! You can drop me a line at gorjus.prettyfakes@gmail.com or send cash or stamps to me, care of Light + Glass Studio, 523 South Commerce Street, Jackson, Mississippi, 39201.
The final cartoon contents are:
False Metal
White Mage
Exodus 20:13
Dreams of Rarebit Myth
Modern Romance
Thirty
Blowback
The essays are:
“False Metal, Redux”
“Twelve Hundred Baud”
“Chevrolet Truth”
“Switchblade Sunday”
“Crown of Thorns”
The rest of this week I’m going to be showing the Polaroids on the cover. Here’s the first batch:
This Thursday the Overnight Lows are playing with Quintron & Miss Pussycat at the Red Room—you may see me behind the Lows merch table hawking a few of these along. Stay tuned for more Overnight Lows-Gorjus news in the future!
Doggone it! I keep forgetting to pay up. Reserve me one! I’ll pay you when we return from Californ-aye-ay.
WOOOO! I’ll be in Jackson Tuesday, so can I have my copy then? CAN I????
Hm.m.m Did I order one of these? Surely I was tempted to do that. $2.00. That isn’t enough is it. $5.00, $10.00?
i have seen the thing, folks, and let me tell you: SR1 is worth MUCH more than the pittance that modest little gorj was asking.
it has heft, and is clean and clear and logically blocked, and it has a REMOVABLE polaroid on the front! i say:
not less than five dollars, and not more than thirty.
it’s beautiful and worth every penny.
i’m getting me one for my very own as soon as my employer laughs and signs my next paycheck!
Yeah. How much? You never mentioned in your email when your replied. I think Gorjus has been replaced by a Skrull…
I received my copies this weekend and I can vouch for Jaysus’ praise. They are quite beautiful and that’s before we even get to the content. I’m sitting down with a whiskey drink tonight to give it a proper reading.
