Dragon Scale Handbag. In a deviant art style, a lovelorn suitor (Dick Brainer) kidnaps a female comic book character and whisks her away on a scooter, but there he is double-crossed by his beloved (Marge Simpson) who flee with a second smitten suitor, whom she will also betray later! What reader could reasonably claim to be the one and only person to have been seduced by Marge? A motto among fans—a one among us—in the rearview mirror. Man or woman, it’s up to each of us to kidnap this beloved comic book character in turn by contributing to this series of lovesick suitors! Our motto could be: “Rapt her with your scoot!” or “Ravish her on your scooter!” (“MS on my scoot,” MS ‘o’ MS.) So, who’s up for a wild chase in a shower of Smarties? It is also up to you, fans of Marge and other fanziners on deviantart or on your own sites (Discord, WordPress and so), to find a funny motto.
One, two, three, green dragon! Editor’s note: Florent Saltino’s “The Green Dragon and the Trash Can of Love,” a pastiche published in 2014 by the micro-publishing house Téci, will not be reissued.
