The cover of Head Shop #3 said "EAT
THIS COMIC!" and "Printed on real hemp paper," which it was instead of dead
trees.
On the back cover, in fine print, it
read,
Yes, it was
really printed on hemp paper.
No, don't eat it. It won't do anything for
you, and the photocopy powder is probably poisonous.
But smoking it would
probably be healthier than most tobacco cigarettes.
I can't believe you're
reading this fine print.
Are you high? Or just one of those people
who reads the fine print in everything?
I used to do that. After the
eyesight began to fail, I had to give it up.
Still get the munchies,
though. Here, have a chocolate chip cookie.
Good, huh? Want another
one?
Of course, in this online incarnation, there's no paper needed at
all unless, of course, you print it. But
now we need, I don't know, to burn hemp for the electricity we use or build our
circuit boards on plasticized hempboard, or something.
