Endnotes and Digressions:

1. Grey-tones for this installment by Chad Essley.

2. Fun with Web links: Fogatron has a Web site in the works at Fogatron.com. Here's his MySpace page. And if the deal went through in 2004, you can download Fogatron ring-tones for your cell phone at movaya.com.

3. You can listen to an extremely low-rez MP3 of Fogatron beatboxing an improvised “CulturePulp Theme” right here: CulturePulpFogatron.mp3

I hasten to add that this is a mono recording captured live with my low-end digital recorder, and that it's only barely representative of the jaw-dropping prowess of Mr. Fogatron. To hear more, catch him live or track down a copy of his first album, "Turn Off the Device."

As per usual, you can download a high-rez PDF of this comic strip right here: CulturePulp015.pdf
