24 End of
1999
Photo & layout by me. MiKeK, Brian and I drove down I-5
to find the perfect sign. Luckily, it turned out to be the first one
we saw. What are the odds!
23 Summer
1999
This is a photo of Katherine's mom from September
1958. Was she the one who painted "Eddie" on the wall?
Historical records are hazy.
22 Fall
1998
Adapted from old clip art, by me. Each cover
was hand stamped with both the title and bellows coloration. This
took very almost forever.
21 Mid 1998
(I guess)
Layout by me, with a photo that I took of a
butterfly that Emily found.
20 Early
1998
This is a photograph of my ventriloquist dummy, who I
named Maynard. Although he is clearly mass produced, I have no idea
when, or what his real name is, or if he's based on a famous dummy, or
what. He's currently on the top shelf of my closet, staring.
Staring.
19 Fall
1997
Designed and illustrated by John Sabotta. First (and second-to-last) issue with a slick
cover.
18 Spring
1997
Designed and illustrated by Mojan Sami. This uses pink paper with bright orange ink covering most
of it -- in real life, almost painfully vibrant.
17 End of
1996
Cover design by Julie McGalliard,
followed by me applying to it a very technical graphic design process
known as "fucking it all up."
16 1996,
sometime in the middle
Illustration & design by me. The
registration was off juuust enough that I went over every cover with a red
pen to fix it.
15 1996 --
late Spring? Early Summer?
Photocopied from
a piece of scratch paper on which I doodled during a job making cold calls
for a carpet cleaning company. Marks the first (and second-to-last)
appearance of Mr.
Boodle, Master of Disguise.
14 1995 (slow
year, apparently)
Photo and layout by Dave Sullivan, who moved away
and from whom we have not heard since.
Stocking Stuffer Xmas 1994,
ostensibly
Drawing by Grouchy Chris, layout by me. Click on the pic for "unfolded" version.
13 Fall 1994
Photo by Tony
Gale, layout by me. This cello player
was sitting in the middle of the street when Tony snapped her pic.
No model release, no permission given or implied.
12 Summer
1994
Photo & layout by Jeff Bates, my boss from
when I worked at Western Washington University's Publicity Center.
11 Early-ish
1994
Illustration and layout by Damon Miller, a co-worker
at the Publicity Center.
10
December 1993
Photo and layout by me. The foot and
pedal both belong to my old bandmate Beau Fredericks.
This issue was originally tabloid size and printed on newsprint and I hated it. Later I made a few regular sized versions, which is what you see here. (Click on the pic to see the "unfolded" version.)
9 Fall 1993
By Christian Salas
.
"Back to School" issue -- this was the first Fall that I didn't go back to school.
8 Summer 1993
Photo by me. Yes, we got some ink and painted the
pertinent information on Kelli Walter's head. (We probably should
have tested it first to make sure it would wash off.)
Hey, Kelli, you still owe me eighty bucks.

Is that John Goodman?
Yes. Yes, it is.
5 mid-1992
Photo by Christine Feldman's sister,
look-I've-just-discovered-computers layout by
yours truly.
4 Winter
1992
This is by Bill
Schneider. I have to say I'm not 100% sure who Bill Schneider
is. I mean, I kind of remember what he looks like
(dark hair, right?), but that's about it. If you're out there somewhere,
thanks!
3 Late 1991
Photo by Tom
Johnson, one of my art profs at WWU .
Incredibly sensitively added title information by, of course, me.
The model wishes to remain an omnibus.
2 1991.
Summer?
Photocopied postcard.
1 Spring
1991
Photo of some protester, taken from
newspaper. Implied that Throwrug had political content (dude,
it never did).
