"I found this odd adrag/zine at Ann Arbor's "Urban Outfitters." It's a newspaper sized give-away with throw-away writing but some nice little strips, including ones by Mark Marek, Kaz, Carel Moiseiwitsch, David Mazzucheli and Chris Ware. It also sports a cover by Gary Painter and a grat big collage by Winston Smith. It's *free,* so what the hell... go to an Urban Outfitter and pick one up."
