LP and CD release. The layout of John Forbes’ signature artwork is based on our mutual love for Mad Magazine and to a lesser extend by Bil Cane’s Sunday Family Circus strip.

Every now and then you get to do something fun. Something that you don’t want to end. This was one of those projects. I consider this artwork to be a full collaborative effort between David and myself. On the other hand, I think of David as a cinematic director giving me vague suggestions to plumb the motivation and sweep the depths. It was a form of telekinesis that inspired me to throw my ass into it wholeheartedly. All that was stupid or lazy got weeded out. David was able to turn the puzzle into a mansion. I got the golden egg! David could navigate through a brick wall. I learned so damn much and had a high time doing so!
