Political humor, satirical fiction, and a lot about television and comic books.

Spring &rsquo;05. Lots of serious stuff in here, topics like the end of the world, the fighting in Iraq, and the Cold War, but also some lighter pieces, such as the article on Hunter S. Thompson. Also plenty of jokes and satire, as well as the general cynicism and sarcastic nature that goes along with any issue of JGQ. Oh, and of course the recollection of Grant&rsquo;s dream about Martin Scorsese. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

Fall 2002. Reflections on a the year after Sep 11, short history on US involvement in the Middle East, lots of talk about Bush and his determination to go to war, and some great made up (or is it?) dialog between Bush and Dick. Also, a funny clip-art page about election day. <br />

War issue for the Fall of 2003. Lots of political clipart, and stories about the War in Iraq. This issue dis&rsquo;s on capitalism, and promotes underground literature. If you want to read a clever set of stories about political discontent, then this is your chance. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

Rumsfeld graces this cover, looking as pleasant as ever. This is the Summer of 2003 issue, and has lots of stuff making fun of Dubya, making fun of people who use guns (Guns are for sissies!), and a piece about a possible connection between Bush being president and all the porno spam that floats around on the internet. Also a long story about vampires. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

A fictional story about life in the White House, reflections on being a substitute teacher, and funny cartoons with (drum roll) political messages. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

"The stories presented here tell tales of a new Chicago, a Chicago that, like the Scott Mutter montage that fronts this book, is made up of diverse images that suggest new ways of seeing. They provide alternative interpretations of life in the city. What you will find in this collection is a a multi-cultural neighborhood in print, a neighborhood which has yet to surface on Chicago streets, one which is perhaps still years away in a city that touts its culturally plural make-up while still enforcing rigid boundaries between segregated neighborhoods. Murder by industrial pollution (often masked by self-abuse), racism, homophobia, the disintegration of family life, the struggle for control of one's own body and mind, the troubles facing a growing elderly population, the subjugation of minority cultures to the rich, the white, the male, are all issues confronted by the writers of these stories. They speak through a range of voices, creating a new, urgent sense of Chicago Realism. These storytellers provide testimony to a new Chicago, a Chicago that while steeped in American tradition challenges the narrow boundaries of its stereotype. They speak to a changing America, an America that has awakened from decades of a false, prosperity-driven revelry with a reality hangover. They speak of an America that must now begin to turn its attention to the social and environmental problems it has too long ignored." - From the back cover
