You can <a href=\"mailto:legoldbug@hotmail.com\">e-mail the author<\/a> to make  sure the info is still current (the comic is about six months old so who  knows) or you can just send a SASE and a couple of bucks to: Paper  Radio P.O. Box 321 Providence, RI 02901. That being established, this is  a wonderfully random collection of short comics. Throw in a Ben Jones  strip and you have almost a perfect thing. Here are some of the subjects  disussed: giant cats, sleep, D.C. Bird, robots, God getting a rectal  probe, warplanes, and pizza. It&#8217;s hard to describe this without being  able to show it to you, as everything in here is incredibly visual.  Maybe that&#8217;s a stupid thing to say about comics, but there are people  who use their dialogue to better effect than their art and vice versa,  but this is something that really has to be seen to be believed.  Incredibly inventive and eclectic, this is something that&#8217;s well worth  the $4 Quimby&#8217;s was charging for it. E-mail him and get a catalog, if  he&#8217;s still doing it, and order everything he has. I mean it!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/national22.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"493\" height=\"628\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail National Waste #2 Great as this comic is, it&#8217;s invaluable for one simple reason: it gives recent contact info for Paper Rodeo, which is one of the best catalogs of mini comics in recent memory.
