Known to insiders as "the COD," a (once) monthly newsletter but now with an unpredictable delivery base, this publication may cover everything from Carp 18's upcoming gigs to handy recipes to analytical essays about tube socks.
One of the most popular features is fictional staff writer and editor, Gus Grimstone showcasing his dark but humorous opinions on subjects ranging from immersion tanks to Sri Lankan food. Gus' intolerance for just about everything seems to have struck a chord with many of our readers who enjoy following him on his journeys. Follow Gus as he gulps down beer after beer at the Metrodome for the big Mud Bog Competition yet never leaves his seat!...what is his secret? Does this superhero have an iron bladder? Only subscribers know for sure.
