Issue Eight

Issue 8. Winter of 1999-2000

Brian adds his illustration skills to the cover and innards while Bill explains the ties between institutional racism and consumerism. Other entries range from movie reviews to human/computer assimilation.

The eighth issue was in the works when Stewart’s hard drive had a major meltdown turning all the ordered ones and zeroes that were Tweed into a random array of gibberish. He and Bill were able to scramble together and produce the new issue on time, even while learning Adobe Pagemaker. Unfortunately the original Carla-supplied cover of a laughing baby hooked up to electrodes was lost. On the bright side Brian was able to whip of this cute illustration of Santa shitting down a chimney while reading his list of naughty and nice. Note the subservient elf on toilet paper duty.
Truth be told this issue was incredibly unfocussed. The essays were rants and the rants weren’t that interesting. The two saving graces of this issue were Brian’s illustrations and Max’s conclusion to his short fiction Perfection. If Stewart’s hard drive hadn’t crashed things could have been different.
