Here's issue no.15 'Here Comes Another One' being printed.

For a change I printed the cover using a 30yr old serigraphie  (French children's mini screen print toy). It prints a bit erratically (or maybe that was me) using cut out paper stencils.

Here's how they came out, I printed yellow on brown wrapping paper, after laser printing the black first.

Issue No.14 Unexpected Item in Bagging Area
So, why the long face? Have you been eating something suspicious... Damp Flat Products obviously deny everything and unlike Tesco - we're NOT SORRY. BUT, cheer-up! The economy is still circling-the-drain and Americans still like shooting each other (SHOCK), and everyone else wants to blow each other up - from and Xbox. Fancy some Soylent Green?
