Joe sez,
The mere fact that the Great Bearded Wizard of Albion, Mr Alan Moore, is behind a new journal, Dodgem Logic, should be enough to get a lot of us interested. But add in talents like the Josie Long, Graham Linehan, Kev O'Neill, Melinda Gebbie, Steve Aylett and others and I'm pretty much sold and I'd imagine so are most of us.Announcing: Alan Moore's "Dodgem Logic" (Thanks, Joe!)But it gets even better - this is a new underground journal that seems to be part entertainment, part grassroots activism/advice on all sorts of subjects dear to many boingers' hearts, from guerilla gardening to making your own clothes, living on no cash (something most of us will find essential these days!), steampunk guides to rebuilding collapsed civilisation...
Alan's daughter Leah and hubby John Reppion (themselves excellent comics writers) have the official release describing the first edition (which will come with a segment designed to take local content so it can be reworked for different areas - a great idea), which comes from Tony Bennet's great Indy comics press Knockabout (home to Hunt Emerson & Gilbert Shelton as well as UK publishers of the new League of Extraordinary Gentlemen). Is it just me or is this the perfect sounding journal for BBers?

Didn't catch who is going to distribute the zine in the US.
I'll be honest: if it's not at the comic stores when the zine is all over the web I'm going to bootleg it (if possible).
For those of us already living with no cash, I ask: will there be a Creative Commons version of this?

"As cheap and beautiful as a heartbreaking teenage prostitute"
He might get into a spot of trouble for that simile. Nevertheless, I'm intrigued.
I would prefer this over any other.I like it.
Could I make a request that you post another mini-post once subscriptions become available? (The comments in the link imply that subscriptions should come soon).
Those of us who would otherwise forget to check that website, but who never fail to check this one, would greatly appreciate it!
Well that trumps my post-apocalyptic zine but at least I got the zeitgeist right.
Hot damn!
"Colliding ideas to see what happens" has to be one of the best mottos ever!
Gosh, I think that's All Saints Church in my home town of Northampton. Never thought it would be swept away in a cataclysm one afternoon at 4.12pm...
Latest info about DL #1 now up at http://www.moorereppion.com/dogem-logic-latest/14/10/2009/
It should be available at US comic stores, through normal distribution channels, on or about November 25th.
Those stores that have daring, that is.
