The front of this hallucinatory postcard, published by Cold Turkey Press in a limited edition of 36 copies, shows a collage by the late Norman Ogue Mustill. It is “Mustill in a light sorta mood, or so he thought,” I wrote Ben Schot, Cold Turkey’s distributor. “Light for him, anyway: no severed bodies or bloody stumps. He did not always ream out the human race. He had a feel for the vulnerability of pop culture, which he liked to satirize.” When Cold Turkey’s artist-publisher Gerard Bellaart asked for a paragraph to go with Mustill’s collage, I sent him a cut-prose text called “The Condition.”<\/p>\n
