...unhealthy fare. Though it makes no conventional sense, "Shrimpy and Paul" is easy to read thanks to Marc Bell's sure hand at story structure. Each of the three main stories (along with the other one-page strips and ephemera that make up this collection) follow a narrative as solid as an Abbott and Costello picture. Shrimpy, the beatific upsetter causes trouble that the straight-man Paul must correct. Thanks to Bell's clarity of storytelling, you never feel lost in the nonsense even when Shrimpy suddenly floats in the air and announces he shall give birth from his knees...
...does appear to have one solid argument on its side: those mysterious mobile biowarfare labs. The CIA shared its findings with reporters last week about two tractor-trailer trucks seized in Iraq that it claims were designed for the production of biological weapons.

...drum beat he wanted emanating from a Pocomania Church - a Revivalist Christian sect with West African roots. The resulting single, People Funny, Boy, "shook up the entire Jamaican music scene and gave birth to the form known as reggae," says David Katz, Lee Perry's biographer and author of Solid Foundation: An Oral History of Reggae (Bloomsbury). At Studio One Perry had helped break the Wailers, a Ska-beat vocal trio led by the young Bob Marley, promoting the band's breakthrough single of 1964, Simmer Down. And in 1969 Marley came through Upsetter's doors to record classic cuts...
