Floating World Comics hasn't added a story.
Free Spirit News is a free, submission based, art and satire newsprint publication made in Portland Oregon. The newspaper contains no “news,” but rather a collection of comics, drawings, jokes, puzzles, poetry, gags, optical illusions, visionary doodles and other untethered expressions. The news of the spirit!
As some of you may or may not know, for the past few years we here at Free Spirit News have been working to compile a hard bound book collection of the entire run of the paper thus far. The impending hefty tome “Realistic Future Nudes and Other Issues: A Free Spirit News Anthology 2012-2021” contains all fourteen issues, including photos, ephemera and other related nonsense. Published in collaboration with Floating World Comics and Container Corps Press, the book should make a wonderful coffee table book, door stop, and a supremely effective bathroom reader.
In addition to a small but very helpful RACC (RIP!) grant a few years back, this Crowd Fundr Pre-order is the the main funding source for this book. In a perfect world this collection would be free just like the paper, but alas we have to raise some big funds for this one. The final book will retail in shops for $45-$50, but you can order yours today for the low low price of $40. Many deluxe options also exist, which include fun extras and goodies. If all goes according to plan the book should begin shipping out early in the new year and make a great post holiday gift.
Free Spirit News has been a truly collaborative community experiment over the years and we thank all of you for your continued support. Big thanks to all those who have submitted art, writing and other weirdness over the years and to the businesses that have supported the paper through ad sales and allowed us free reign to mess with their branding and images. We are very proud to present this archival document of our weird collective activity together and hopefully inspire more folks to contribute to the paper in the future!
Order your book today and please help us spread the word about this Crowd Fundr. Together we can make make this crazy book a realistic nude reality!
Peace and Love,
Free Spirit News editors
