With the abrupt passing of our good friend the irreplaceable Greg Peters, I’ve been sifting through the vault.

When we lived together in the Wobbly House Anarcho-Collective, where the dryer contained broken glass and a bowling ball, and there were bands in the basement and every night was REALLY LOUD and the landlord had quite a lot to say about us to Jim’s parents at the end of it all, and Greg and I worked together at Vicious Corner, insulting frat boys and listening to the Sisters of Mercy and Husker Du  while stocking the cooler,  I was always finding some brilliantly altered mass-media or original sketches littering the carpet or left unmentioned in my sketchbooks.

Please donate to the memorial educational fund for Greg’s 2 beautiful boys. They’re only 5-8 years out from college, and we all know that’s not available for people without money.

Go to any Chase Bank, tell them you want to make a deposit to the Magnus and Grey Wilder Peters Fund, routing #065400137.  If they need the account number, which they probably don’t, it’s 3011900171.

No, you can’t make withdrawals from the account. Nice try, though.
