In the neighborhood? Spend some time basking the glory of our new window display by artist Zachary Huelsing (of Eyerocket Books). With a cast of characters including a nun, a rapper, a baseball catcher, a calculator, a leather daddy, some dogs in love, and a rainbow, it’s kind of like a technicolor rebus for the forces of good.

I’m not blogging about the late, lamented torrent tracker. I’m blogging about something better – a new issue of Ethan Persoff’s Comics With Problems is loose on teh internets. This time, Persoff dusts off “Easy Does It”, a perverse, anthropomorphic slaughterhouse propaganda piece produced by Swift & Company in the days when Back of the Yards had yards to be in back of. Link to the delicious bacon!

Coming out of RVCA and edited by Ed Templeton, the ANP is easily one of the best visual arts zines kicking around today. The best part about it is the price: it’s totally free. This issue has Harmony Korine and Yoda on the cover. Also featured are Tomoo Gokita, Leigh Ledare, Uta Barth, and Ashley Macomber, among others. Be sure to come by and pick up a copy if you’re in the hood.
