Baffler #11, Twilight of the Century, continues the irreverent magazine's all-out assault on contemporary pop culture. Fixing their sarcastic radar on middle America, the folks at The Barrier have outdone themselves for this issue, which features bowling shirt images and a flexidisc of Dead Moon singing the theme from "Good Times". Baffler #12 The New American Earthquake finds the Baffler staff in the hinterlands where the "plain folk" aint what they used to be. Baffler invites you to fell the pain of well-armed millenarians, touchy-feely Christian patriarchists, and employees of ChiChi's, Chili's, Cheddar's, Shoney's and Denny's. Yum
