Bobby Campbell news update

 


Above, new cartoon from Bobby Campbell. (Well, I think it's new).

Bobby tells me this comes from a quote from the Book of the SubGenius, ""Don't just eat that hamburger, eat the HELL out of it!" But it also comes from this Eric Wagner anecdote (pages 85-86, Straight Outta Dublin):

In 1988 a group of us brought Bob Wilson to Arizona to give a talk and a workshop. I wanted to make Thursday a Finn day, so we took him to see the new film of The Dead, which he loved because it reminded him so much of Dublin. We went to a vegetarian restaurant that night which one of our group recommended, but afterwards Bob asked me to take him back to the hamburger joint we had enjoyed the day before. That night Bob came over to my house and we had a raucous Finn session enhanced by Guinness Stout.

Also, Bobby has responded on Bluesky to my post from the other day, reminding everyone that the Kickstarter for Tales of Illuminatus! #3 expires on June 22.  Bobby says, "Hoping to get those contributor numbers up :))) If you have $3 and want to see the series continue, do please hit us up!"
