"My Neighbor" by Eric Reynolds

The Harvard Exit hosted one of those first come/first serve free screenings of the new Dan Clowes/Terry Zwigoff film Art School Confidential Monday night. The theater had a special row of seats reserved for the beleaguered hard-working employees of the local funny book factory that published both the screenplay and the original comic book series from which the film derives its material... or so the poor schlubs were led to believe. PSYCHE! Turns out all the reserved seats were somehow snagged before Fanta publisher/founder/mogul Gary Groth arrived with his posse. The Harvard Exit staff asked if everyone in the reserved row was with the Fantagraphics crew, and that's when we noticed, sitting at the end of the aisle, a certain local Christian Fundamentalist/Right Wing propagandist/movie hater... the infamous Michael Medved!

The scofflaw gun-fetishists behind local funny book factory Fantagraphics Books pushed the avant-garde comics publishing envelope even further on Sunday, August 14th when they blew up a lawn mower (photo credit Eric Reynolds) in the Sultan river basin during their semi-annual summer shoot-out event, a tradition that goes back more than a decade and has even included the blowing up of cars with dynamite in years past, not to mention the senseless shooting of a perfectly functional fire extinguisher.
