what was that? is that all there is? who is this? this is it.

What’s dickstank?

a question a child might ask

but not a childish question 

a question 

that in the past has led

not to answers

but only to

other questions... 

Effective advertising? 

If the ad ran in 1985

and I’m still stuck on it

today 

fuckin A

I’d say

it was effective 

Raise your hand if you’re old enough to remember the Reagan Years. 

Raise both hands if you remember this ad 

Perhaps your grandparents purchased some Time-Life books.

Perhaps they had a rotary phone in their home. 

Perhaps you sent them occasional postcards.

I don’t own any Time-Life books.

I grew up on a rotary phone. 

I’m still sending occasional postcards to people.

Postcards forever.

So what is dickstank? It was issue #11 in my kickstand zine series. By then there were kickstand stickers floating around town and somebody like Tyler Goldsmith started switching up the K & the D, creating the first dickstank stickers. Then I had a real batch printed up and named an issue in its honor. It wasn’t my idea but I ran with it. Now 25 years later I’m still jogging it a bit, making postcards here and there. dickstank t-shirts however are very rare.
