What you see here is the actual pasteup that was used to produce the cover for the first issue. I actually drew the cover image and the logo on the same piece of paper, then pasted up all of the other elements. -- PL

Scat #1 cover pasteup
Ah, the days of waxers, border tape, glue sticks, and white out... really makes you appreciate modern computer graphics and page layout software. Following up on my September 7 posting, this is another relic of the old "Scat" comics magazine.

Its funny how much that cover image resembles the kinds of figures Playmates would end up manufacturing in the early 90s...foreshadowing!
ReplyDeleteI love the devil as a blues/jazzman theme! Classic!
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing cover!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments about being appreciative of modern computer graphics & page layout software.
PL, did you free hand the "SCAT" logo, or did you use some sort of stencil for that?
Either way, it's pretty impressive!

Thanks! As I recall, that was laboriously freehanded. -- PL
Hi Pete,
ReplyDeleteJust going through all the wonderful posts you're making here. Are there digital versions or hard copy versions of Scat available somewhere? I grew up in the Valley and missed out on these magazines since I was only 3 when that 1st ish came out. If not on the internet... in one of the many libraries within the 5 colleges? Someplace I can check them out the next time I'm in town?
More Gobbledygook!
