I’m stuck on the part where you spent hours in The Stranger archives because I relate so hard and would love to lose an afternoon that way. Last week in the car I was remembering the Stranger comic Smell o’ Steve and trying to explain to my teen the significance of The Stranger in the late 90s. Also, the most terrifying unforgettable thing I’ve ever read, I read while on a lunch break flipping through the Stranger. I think all the time about trying to find that.
If you do decide to look for it, it’s probably there.
I spent some time maybe a year or two ago reading late 90s Stranger archives, and was taken aback by how like…bombastically cynical the tone of humor was. And how much I had internalized that. Reading the 2015-2016 era more recently, it seemed so half-hearted and innocent!
I’m still mad about something I read in Savage Love probably 20 years ago.
