A good window into Lew's view of the rock and roll lifestyle. There's a lot of drinking and touring involved, but also heartbreak and wandering. He's a romantic. This issue turns over a new leaf- much of the stories are just about his life and enjoyment of his small hometown in Pennsylvania. He walks around aimlessly, hangs out in diners, knows people wherever he goes, and explores the neglected parts of town. Lew knows how to throw a few good literary devices into each paragraph and make the most mundane and painful experiences into stories worth telling.

This issue is one long love story about 5 years of living in Kutztown, PA: going to college, falling in love, breaking up, obsessing, reveling with friends, and attempting to seperate the people from the places. it's the same format and just about as long as blurt!#1. Lew is really really proud of this issue and can't wait for everyone to see it.

This issue is somewhat shorter with only 5 stories by Lew as well as art from his friends that was never being broadcasted in the spirit of the memory of Migraine Comics.

You'd think with a subtitle like "drunk stories" Lew would be serving up some glorified bonehead behaviors, but instead you get his sweet, literary twist to tales that you would never want to live, but in his words, it's almost appealing! Between Kutztown, PA, Austin, TX, Portland, OR, New York City, Milwaukee, and more! Lew Houston is like Craig Finn in print and his storytelling is just as contagious!

Chris Terry writes Gullible like he's talking to his old buddy - sharing tips, trading stories, drawing comic strips, and also no stranger to the literary spin on a simple experience of the week. Preserves punk rock culture with words with touring tips and descriptions of his home life in Brooklyn.

Sentence fragment structure embellished by the same spot-on graphic design and quality we've come to expect from Lew Houston. A good window into Lew's view of the rock and roll lifestyle.

The gut wrenching moments of this issue are accidentally decapitating a bird as a small child, running out of beer at his going away party, and discovering that discount herbals can't help you remember forgotten memories. This is some microcosmic shit!

The zine least needing of a description! Lew Houston (Blurt, Tales of A Travelling Panty Salesman) gives of a perspective glimpse into the workings of the college radio station in Kutztown. Anyone who has ever worked in college radio would definitely be able to relate with this and probably enjoy the feeling of similar experiences. It has some news clippings, statements from founders and staff people, and some great photos. Well worth checking out for the history and inspiration alone. No dead air in this beauty.

This is the story of a boy going on tour with a rambunctious rock band and exploring the US of A for the first time. The stories are undoubtedly worth reading and he has a real penchant for this kind of storytelling; descriptions giving an accurate portrayal of things in just a few words. The writing is setup chronologically along the tour and talks about the notable elements of each state and city that they visited. The title refers to the fact that the band sold panties as merchandise and that it was his job to sell them though the zine doesn't talk about THOSE specific incidents too much at length (though it does focus on other embarrassing moments). This was so good that I didn't want to put it down after I started reading it!
