Mail Art News #66: Weekly Review, Jan 31, 2024

  incoming from Jimmy Hackney Who hasn't experienced at least one fit of rage after eating Spaghetti-Os? It's as American as  anellini . I hope Terry was able to get back to his regular daily activities without too many problems and that he didn't alienate his friends and family members too much with his hubristic temper problems. I don't think this was about a literal explosion. It could be about Terry getting really successful and famous for something he was good at. To me, though Terry had anger management issues.

fruit salad of abstract shapes , 25 pieces, by a.mlcl I don't have a lot to say for the intro. It's cold here today (25 F / -4 C). Let's look at the art.  Seen on IUOMA:  No Place Like Home , by Melanie Reed Reminder:  Circulaire132 (since 2006!) Incoming: Got mail from four people.  from Erica Durante from Cascadia Artpost I had previously  requested not to be the recipient of any overtly political mail art unless it was radical centrist in nature. The above political mail art does seem to be centrist because it makes fun of both political parties, while also taking a look at the modern-day oligarchical class.  Look Ma! It's a book.
