The web is a beautiful thing. Bits and pieces of one’s creative past, for good or for ill, can resurface out of the ether and provide amusement and a sense of perspective.

As it turns out, over 80 years worth of student newspapers from Davidson College, my alma matter, have been saved in an online pdf archive, located here. So, unknowingly, a bit of my youth has been preserved here– strange little comics, from my Junior year, called Agitprop. The name is a perverse nod to the art of propaganda from the Communist era, and the pieces ran for several months in a stretch in late 1989.

Agitprop is a window into my-then mindframe. Quirky, a bit angsty, and fascinated by possibilities.
