Goldenrod Magzine (-sic)
A pseudo-anthology of Can-con underground comix printed at 7”x8.5” on 24 very yellow pages of comics with full colour covers. From single panel gags to mutli-page stories, Goldenrod Magzine (-sic) compiles the best of Ryan Cassidy’s comics. It’s the sordid chronicle of a publication riddled with bad managerial policy, goblins, transdimensional entities, big snack conspiracies, insidious art supply retailers and a coterie of deranged denizens all vying for editorial purview over Donlon, Dingdongtario (an oh-so-clever pseudonym for London, Ontario).
