hi there friend. by reading this, you're one who is familiar with DOODLE -- the emag brad (erratic) and i have been releasing for the past year. well, a year is a very long time, and through-out the past year we've tried to make doodle a successful "publication" although we haven't always been so successful. surprisingly enough, we've managed to make an ansi-scene emag into something that even our friends who are completely uninvolved with the scene can enjoy (somewhat) and become involved with. due to a whole bunch of reasons -- mainly; a lack of the time and motivation required for each issue; our chronic lateness (7 issues of a monthly emag in 12 months); and lack of the art scenes involvement/feedback -- we've decided to make doodle #7 the last. while this news isn't anything too compelling, i'll skip to the point. see, we're quite proud of our little production, as i'm sure you know, and we'd hate to see #7 go down on a sour note. as final issues go, emags are almost ALWAYS sadly quite abandoned by the time of their last. well, *we* for one would like to go out with a *bang*. that's right. and that's why i am cordially asking you to write up some content for the final issue, which is slated for release sometime next week (pretty soon 'eh?).. that is, we'd love to hear your editorials, rants and little slices of life, so if you think you'd have the time to do so, i'd be much obliged if you could "boot-er-up" the 'ol text editor, put down some thoughts, and go down in emag history. :) anyway, catch you later. - grind king SAUCE00READ THIS IF YOU LIKE DOODLE!$!!!@ grind king lazarus/doodle 19970508YP"
