sleazy slice.

A couple of months ago I posted some flicks from a mid 90's smut comic titled, Spore Whores by the controversial S.C.A.R. Just when I thought the Australian gross-out duo had fallen off the face of the earth I find issue #4 of Sleazy Slice (published by Robin Bougie hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia). A comic compilation with a little slice of S.C.A.R. by the name of Z'bula: Warqueen.

Arts Canada, December 1969. This issues features Canadian grassroots art from coast to coast. My favorite work is by a Mr. Andy MacDonald, who created a creepy roadside village of "people" from Javex bottles, old clothing and discarded everyday remnants. The figures were arranged in a freaky assortment of pantomimes and exhibited a piece of cloth or plastic on which was written a single distinguishing thought, for example: "There's some people that find it hard to smile. To them only, look at the doll baby above." Andy's village was located between Aulac, New Brunswick and Cape Tormentine, en route to the P.E.I. Ferry. I have found no evidence that it still exists today.

the esp experiment.

Neil Rose is a proper-ass university professor that's gotten a little batty with his research, yielding exciting results. Either he's attempting communication with the dead through drugs used to channel paranormal experiences, or simply a clever artist. Regardless, the sounds really do it for me.

Taken from Residuum, Neil Rose's research and Shawn Lewins text:

While conducting research in anticipation for the publication of ‘Wilbor Whateley/Psychopomps’, a recording yielding astonishing results not least for its qualities as a guide for metaphysical energies. Neil Rose made early steps into releasing/drawing through these energies and through careful (and highly secret) use of sonic wave lengths was able to physically manifest a tangible example, this became known as the “psychopomp trials” an experiment into connecting with those things we can measure but cannot always experience, the Psychopomp, Xolotl, Manannán mac Lir, or Angel: the guide to the ‘other side’ where souls are to be judged and ultimately charged with their actions.
After this series of experiments Rose encountered an unanticipated side effect, a phenomena that caused surprising readings in his test equipment long after experimentation was terminated, Rose considered these readings to be a “residue” conjecturing that the drawing of such massive, and potentially incompatible, levels of energy must leave a mark and it is this mark or “residue” that was registering on test equipment.
