Urbin Flack- back on the attack with post punk short tales
Tales From the Valcro Room by local scribe Urbin Flack.
This a wake up call for people who think the future won't happen to them. It happened to Jimmy Cappa (his stunt wife is just starting to relax), it happened to some ducks ('we'll celebrate Christmas if we have to') and it happened to Leslie, a very trusting woman; 'With the calming sound of Faust in the background I lobotomised the part of her brain that realised animals were real and not cartoon characters. She became more fun after that.' Also includes some headachey artwork and a full explanation for the Dale Street bomb craters.
