(by Michael Hemmingson)
Imagine a world where the Japanese retaliate in the 1940s by dropping their own twin A-bombs on Los Angeles and San Diego. Welcome to The Bubble: a self-contained universe created by that blast known as Los Diegos, where everything is five minutes away, no one ages, and no one dies. Imagine you’re a private eye hired to find the rare Betty Page stamp, but stumbling on the truth of reality, and the interdimensional aliens who wish to destroy it. A response to Alfred Jarry’s final and unpublished novel of pataphysics, My Fling With Betty Page asks the question: "Do you ever feel that somewhere, somehow, a duck is secretly watching you?" and even gives the answer.
YELLOW #10:
(by Trevor Dodge)
News Flash from the Fourth Circle: it turns out Barbara and Jenna Bush aren't alone in their garish makeup, binge drinking, and fake IDs. Meet twin sisters Susan and Sharon, extracted straight out of Disney's "The Parent Trap" (itself extracted from German children's author Erich Kastner's "Das Doppelte Lottchen"). Unlike Disney's series of self-congratulatingly "uproarious" sequels starring Hayley Mills, "Yellow #10" catches those rascally Baby Boomer twins full in the throes of a 1990s-style adolescent identity crisis, where anti-depressants, confessional poetry, cry-for-help suicides, and the constipated rhythms of pre-teen sex are set to the sticky-sweet backbeat of pre-millennial pop music.
