Issue 28
Title: COMPUTIST

he ever got it, thinking it was porn because of the 'Hardcore' in the title).

Issue 33
Looking for Page 1/2? Apparently the leaf containing pages 1 and 2 (and 31 and
32) didn't get stapled into this issue.  These are normally the pages containing
the advertisements and are curiously absent from this one.  Whether it's just
mine or all of them went out with that leaf missing, I'll probably never know.
Maybe the advertisers didn't pay for their ads by the deadline. Who knows?
