THE LAST OF THE GREAT EXISTENTIAL RANGERS

by Bob Watt

Hello again, we're back on the stands, going good. I have decided to take the first step in removing the one-hundred pound monkey of good off your Milwaukee backs. You're under a strain and you don't know what it is. It will take a year or two to complete the removal. Thus far Milwaukee people can only do what they perceive as good. This leaves them in a limited field of thought, phantasy and action, limiting the whole town to a certain dryness,, NEW DIMENSIONS I want to ask each of our 10,000 readers to do something that is roolish, engage in some meaningless or purposeless activity twice a week or more. I beg of you, allow yourselves to dream bigger dreams. This will add two dimensions to your character structure every week. By the end of the year you will have 100 new dimensions to your self structure. You will be a much improved personality and you will meet much improved personalities right here in River City. The only reason we haven't created a paradise here already is be­ cause we have not been able to move out of the "good slot," that's — linoleum blockprint by Jacquelyn Leverant all we can do so far.
