Howard Cruse launches local rag

Famous underground cartoonist (and friend of ComicMix) Howard Cruse will launch his newest project, The North County Perp, a new magazine covering the art scene in his hometown, on Wednesday, August 1.  If you’re in the neighborhood, there’s a party at the MCLA Gallery 51 (51 Main Street) from 6 PM to 8 PM.

The Perp is 24 pages of "humorous writing, home-grown cartoons, and essays on topics too off the beaten path to claim space in our local dailies and weeklies," Cruse says.  

Cruse shares his personal account of the Perp’s origins in a recent entry of his blog: http://www.howardcruse.com/loosecruse/
