Spoiler warning: Being a starving artist isn't easy... so, fellow
BOC-L'ers, I now have several copies of the recently published book
"Raspberries" which I have worked on as an inker for sale to any interested
parties. Comics distributors and sellers (Jon Browne... wake up!) are
welcome to buy in bulk quantities at discount prices. Thanks for your
undivided attention, live long and smoke plenty of it, fellow Star Rats and
Oysterheads!

Hails,
This 103 page hardcover Graphic Novel, "Raspberries", described by the
author as a "satire-comedy", an "absurd comic opera" and "political
burlesque", was originally a live action movie screenplay, converted to
comics form by the artists, and recently published by Emancipation Press in
Waterbury, CT, USA. Written by Green Party activist Dave F. Falvey, with
pencils by Steve Goupil (Malibu Comics, Heavy Metal) and acclaimed
caricaturist Chad Crowe (San Francisco Guardian, The LA Weekly) with inks
by Christian Mumford (Boneyard Press, Psykose, Fidus, Norsk Mad, Pyton,
Forresten), it is "The inside story of America's elite and the 'ultra black
files' of the CIA as seen and lived by Napoleon Bonaparte",  starring an
elite cast of characters based on Danny DeVito, Rick Moranis, Rob Carrey,
Nicole Kidman, Susan Anton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pamela Anderson,
Margaret Dumont, Don Knotts, Alfred Hitchcock and lead villain Saddam
Hussein, it also has a full color cover based on The Beatles' famous "Sgt.
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" 1967 album cover. A feast for the mind as
well as the eyes, the book contains many literary and philosophical
references, and is thus suitable for readers of all ages, and is of special
interest to students and practitioners of US law. Perhaps, at its core, it
owes more to Russ Meyer's classic action/topless/comedy flicks or Kurt
Vonnegut's satirical novels than anything else, it is a cross-genre, action
filled and appealing romp through the underbelly of modern American politics.

Make cheques, concealed cash or post International Money Orders for kr. 200
NOK, £20 UK Sterling or $30 USD, prices including postage, payable to:

Christian Mumford
Bankveien 10

Thanks for Your attention.
