...toilet and thinks, “I really want to share my beliefs about democracy with the next anonymous person who shits here.” More astounding is the fact that there is writing on the wall directly behind the bowl, suggesting that someone was so eager to scrawl their worthless opinions that he actually got up mid- or post-deuce to do so. Either that or he was deucing Slater-style, in which case he is powerful...
Part of the do-it-yourself generation of young comix makers that include James Kochalka and Jeffery Brown, Tom Hart first introduced Hutch Owen in 1994's self-published "Hutch Owen's Working Hard." Rendered in a blunt scrawl, its freedom from convention and its unusual political and social content made it a memorable debut for those lucky enough to find it.

"Unmarketable" brings together several pieces that...

...incident is independent, so far, of the probe in Boca Raton. But at least two of the incidents appear to be related: the letter to the Times and one of two sent to NBC both had St. Petersburg, Fla., postmarks, and both were addressed in a similar unsteady scrawl. Neither appeared to contain anthrax, however; the infectious letter at NBC turned out to be a different envelope, with a Trenton, N.J., postmark. The Times letter is being retested, since overnight assays like the one that initially cleared it are sometimes wrong. After three inconclusive tests, in fact, the Microsoft letter...
