PSA for punk love; Animal Planet, etc.

1.

Jessica Hopper, who I have an unabashed womancrush on, is coming to town July 21st. Anyone who wants to join me for an evening of reading and guaranteed radness (the Nabob: probably little-no interest, so I am looking for people to join me), please email. It's at Infoshop, Shaw-ish. Hit It or Quit It zines and comic books on sale onsite. If you miss it, you can always see the Baltimore show.

For your reading pleasure, he are some stories - one about a hermaphroditic crab, and the other 2 about a 600+ lb. catfish.

why does the strap of your new eyepatch go under your good eye?

because I like to be unique? Because I am stupid with Photoshop? Either/or will suffice.
