Doug:

You will be proud to have this Zine in your dream ... of the Rocketeer.
I was amazed how fast I got Ira's creative work to leaf though.

[PaulC]

Geez some of you Guys are impatient You're all on the same slab of land and you get worried that it's not there yet. Just think about us Guys down here when you start fretting the small stuff

By the way Ira, where's mine?

Cheers
Paul

[doug hodder]

[Podunkfla]

Ira... I got the mag today... Damn funny stuff, what I've read so far. I think you have a sure winner. Gawd... I hope your Mayor & Commissioners have a since of humor... their "real bios" were a hilarious trip! Can't wait to read more...

By the way your graphic design looks great... What'd you do it in... Quark?

[tonyj]

Got my copy today. Disgusting . Raunchy. Filthy. Racist. Sophomoric. Dirty. Nasty. Politically incorrect.


When can I get a subscription?


Finally something written at my reading level.

I'm not reading it all right now--I want to spread out the pleasure for as long as possible.

Seriously, it has the best production quality of any "rag" I've seen in a long time.

You must be proud, and deservedly so.

I hope you don't do any jail time, but if you do, I know it will make a great story.

[Steve_Cox]

Totally disgusting!!

[toypusher]

Got mine yesterday too, but was too tired after a 12hr day on the road to read much. Looks great so far and I might get to read some more today.

Thanks, Ira!!

[Ira]

Thanks, guys!

A few of your copies just went out YESTERDAY--I had planned to do it Monday, but I didn't get a chance. Also, when I went to check my P.O. Box, Jack's and David's envelope's were sitting there as returned because of NO POSTAGE ON THEM!

Now believe me, I don't know how I could have made this mistake--I only mailed out 25 and handled each one with tenderness and love. But obviously, I DID screw up, but they're now on their way. I was probably dizzy from that long shlep back to the Post Office after locking my keys in the truck.)

(Paul, give me an address.)

So far, the response from the locals has been nothing but raging positive. I'm getting people telling me that they're not just laughing, but they're laughing until it hurts. But now comes the really hard part:

Turning this into a money-maker.

Brick, yeah--Quark 7, which has finally caught up with In Design with some cool new features, like drop shadows for text and art, transparency, etc.. Used to be a pain having to go into Photoshop to do that stuff and bring it back into Quark.

Being the complaining Jew that I am, there are a few things I spotted that really bug me but that most people will hardly notice or blink at:

A few typos (last word in tuba piece should be "Munich," not "Munch")...a box rule that doesn't align on the bottom (Whose Ass Is This)...a bad clipping path on the right side of that girl's leg...and a March/May boo boo in the the second Jesus piece.

I know--it doesn't mean squat, but it still bothers me.

[PaulC]

Ira, I've sent it to your e-mail link.
Cheers
Paul

[halfdome, Danny]

Got mine today Ira. It has a prominent place right on the toilet tank for my reading pleasure. Quite polished looking for such a filthy rag. Danny

[wolfix]

I got mine today....And has a chance to look it over for a minute.....It looks great. I'm headed to my chair ro read it tonight.

[doug hodder]

thanks Ira!!! got it today...It was great to actually laugh out loud when I checked out the cover...you mentioned some of the articles...but when you see them with the photos...wellll....that really makes it, and I'm really looking forward to reading it...makes me want to visit Coral Springs so I have some background....Doug

[dhazard]

Doug / Ira did you get the second copy? Should I make a run up the hill?

Dan

[Bigwoods]

Ira,

Never laughed so hard. My wife said to get that filthy stuff out of her house, so as I headed out to to the shop, she said, "Hold it a minute, if Ira wrote it let me see how warped he is." I'll probably never get it back, but I heard her laughing. Now she'll have new stories to tell on her next mission trip.
