Piltdownlad #5 is “The Detour Guide”
“The Detour Guide” is a self-contained continuation of the story from issue #2: “Women Got Me Drinking.” So there are more French Quarter shenanigans, interactions with gutterpunks and tourists, as well as a failed attempt at romance. Illustrated by the wonderful artist Nick Knudson. An excursus to the story is a short confession about my time in foster care. Also in this issue is a travelogue about a recent road trip the Wife and I took to New Orleans, a piece called “Gettin’ Lost Downtown,” which details my attempt to start a t-shirt business with a street person in Downtown LA, zine reviews and a “Letters and Comments” section that focuses on previous issues of Piltdownlad and the papernet.
