The LOADSTAR ALBUM
Annum XIII
Program by Fender Tucker
Graphics by Various Artists
Text by Dave Moorman
Collecting LOADSTAR Covers has
become a passion. Our first massive
collection, The Historic LOADSTAR
Covers, is now available on a 1581
disk (or D81 disk image) and contains
the first dozen years of the World's
Longest Running Disk Magazine.
Year 13 is a great, eclectic
collection of masterpieces by eight
different artists:
#145 -- The LOADSTAR DUDES ROCK, or
Jimi and Stevie Ray -- LOADSTAR Style,
by Walt Harned. You can almost smell
the dripped oil on the garage floor
and hear the screeching sound of Mom's
complaints.
#146 -- LOADSTAR MOVES TO THE
COUNTRY, or Ever Since We Formed Our
Own State, by Douglas Jenkins. This
prophetic work clearly foresaw the day
when the Mighty LOADSTAR Tower would
be moved to the flat prairie of
Eastern Colorado.
#147 -- THE FORMER LOADSTAR
SECRETARIAL POOL, or Judi Does the
Work of All These, by Walt Harned.
Here we see evidence of tightening
belts at the SoftDisk Catacombs -- at
least around the LOADSTAR dungeon.
#148 -- THE WIZARD OF THE LOADSTAR
TOWER, or Hey, Buddy, Watch That
Finger, by Phil (The Black Knight)
Sampson. Long before the Harry Potter
craze (even long before Harry Potter),
computers and wizardry met in strange
corners of "sourcery!"
#149 -- THE GHOST OF BENEDICT
CALHOON, or Backward Through the Fog,
by Walt Harned. According to our
current fact maker, Marion
Finsterwald, (we don't employ fact
[checkers] any more!) the shadowy
character in the picture is supposed
to be George Washington. Only a person
like Knees Calhoon would dare usurp
the place of this patriotic icon.
#150 -- THE LOADSTAR TOWERS - MARS
BRANCH, or Home of the Angry Red Mojo,
by Terry Flynn. We are not sure what
"the Angry Red Mojo" referred to,
however we do note that these comments
are getting longer with each
paragraph.
#151 -- THE LOADSTAR CATS, or Pride
o' the Tower, by Walt Harned. Having
been to Kenya and seen this same
expression on the faces of a living
King and Queen of Beasts, I can assure
you that these are a happily mated
couple.
#152 -- GONZO - The LOADSTAR Chimp,
by Roger Detaille. Where but LOADSTAR
will you find monkey business raised
to a fine art? Antonio A. Ribadurcci,
reviewer for The Vatican Rag,
correctly positioned LOADSTAR as "not
as hopelessly silly as Mad Magazine,
but usually funnier than The National
Geographic."
#153 -- MILLICENT - THE LOADSTAR
FAIRY, or When You Comin' Back, Mad
Gamer? by Walt Harned. Those who
followed the career and mental
derangement of Johnny "The Mad Gamer"
Harris will recall that a "Millicent"
flitted in and out of his personal
mythology. By issue 153, Johnny had
headed off to his dream -- designing
major video games, leaving one little
broken heart to flit around the Tower.
#154 -- PLUMB CRAZY ABOUT LOADSTAR,
or Our Crack Pipefitter Springs a
Leak, by Dave Moorman. This cheeky pic
has never failed to crack folks up. I
wear suspenders, so this is definitely
[not] a self-portrait.
#155 -- EX KAOS AD LOADSTAR LOGO, or
Has the Mojo Screwed Up Again? by Ken
Robinson. If you stare at this screen
long enough, your monitor will burn
out. The Latin title means, "Out of
Chaos to the LOADSTAR Word." Or
something like that.
#156 -- THEODORE, THE LOADSTAR BEAR,
or Doing His Thing in the Woods, by
Hugh McMenamin. Little known fact
(fresh from Marion Finsterwald):
Hugh's first submission was a little
too grizzly for our G-Rated Magazine.
