About Jay Babcock
I am an independent writer and editor based in Tucson, Arizona. I publish LANDLINE at jaybabcock.substack.com
Previously: I co-founded and edited Arthur Magazine (2002-2008, 2012-13) and curated the three Arthur music festival events (Arthurfest, ArthurBall, and Arthur Nights) (2005-6). Prior to that I was a district office staffer for Congressman Henry A. Waxman, a DJ at Silver Lake pirate radio station KBLT, a copy editor at Larry Flynt Publications, an editor at Mean magazine, and a freelance journalist contributing work to LAWeekly, Mojo, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Vibe, Rap Pages, Grand Royal and many other print and online outlets. An extended piece I wrote on Fela Kuti was selected for the Da Capo Best Music Writing 2000 anthology. In 2006, I was somehow listed in the Music section of Los Angeles Magazine's annual "Power" issue. In 2007-8, I produced a blog called "Nature Trumps," about the L.A. River. From 2010 to 2021, I lived in rural wilderness in Joshua Tree, Ca.

Holy shit, these Jeff Lint comics are awful. It helps to remember that you have an audience, though I can’t imagine he has much of one.
I’m sorry if that’s harsh, but there’s strange and abstract and then there’s 100% impenetrable and these fall under the latter heading. If that’s what he’s aiming for, great work I guess.

yeah… well, at the time of its release this stuff was probably pretty baffling (70s i think). these days, however, with the entire internet in XD SO RANDUM mode, ‘the caterer’ just serves as a reminder that, if you want to create something lasting and valuable, great execution is as valuable as a great concept.
