You don't want to dispose of mags in the garbage for fear of the wife finding out. And you ain't giving it away because that leaves a paper trail. So the best way to ditch it is if you're in the woods, perhaps using the excuse that you're going out for a walk.<BR/><BR/>The more you know!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-45590879583532313022008-12-31T18:02:00.000-08:002008-12-31T18:02:00.000-08:00What's up with the ripped up porno in the woods?

I recall mostly heavily photo-referenced art, and in the last issue I read (#3 or #4) there was a blonde character whose face was practically traced from a recognizable blonde Hollywood actress but the problem was that it was a different actress in almost every panel! Madonna, Drew Barrymore, Nicole Kidman, Lisa Kudrow, etc. etc., and they all had <B>different hairstyles!</B> But it was supposed to be the same person! In the same scene! It was unbelievable.
