I came across this 2007 post on artist Ward Jenkins' site where he blogged about his mom's collection of 16 Magazine. She was smart for saving them -- the covers are stunningly attractive.

Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

    Hmmm… for some reason, this gives me just a faint whiff of the Archigram movement of the same period, probably the black and white human heads pasted on a cartoon environment. 

    Yup, that’s what it is, here’s an example.

    Maybe it’s just me, but if I see a headline like “Stones Top Secret Love Life”, my first thought is that it shouldn’t be in print accessible to teenagers. But this would predate the debauchery in Morocco and the south of France, so I’m sure it’s something innocent and fictional,  and just like the headline “they get away with murder”, it shouldn’t be taken literally.

    Heh, that totally looks like Tom Cruise with the lion in that first cover. Maybe L. Ron was on to something…

    “Beatles ask you to their new homes!”

    Don’t they all live in the same one?  Another belief shattered….

  • orangedesperado

    Mark, I think you spelt appalling wrong.

    I guess one man’s “stunningly attractive” is another man’s “Aiiieeee!!!!!  The horror!  The horror!”

  • donnie grieve

    I thought they all lived in a Yellow Submarine.

    Beatles ask you to their new homes

    To WHAT their new homes? To sell? To burn down? To paint? To help move furniture inside?
