Missed Connections Comix: Looks Don't Matter

— By James the Stanton (@gnartoons) |

This is the first post from my new digs in Seattle. But fear not San Francisco! I will still be delivering my Missed Connections Comix to you via the Uptown Almanac. In moving to Seattle I'm going to open the comic up to cover the entire West Coast - not just the bay. This should be super helpful because I've been having a harder and harder time finding the weird/gross/funny missed connections on Craigslist, if anybody finds an exceptionally weird or hilarious one please email the link or a screen capture to: missedconnectionscomix(at)yahoo(dot)com and I'll see what I can do with it… 

I already miss the burritos.

Reimagined Taco Truck

— By Kevin Montgomery (@kevinmonty) |

Kelly Tunstall and Ferris Plock have a show going on right now (thru July 14th) at Fecal Face Gallery, featuring a whole bunch of art about food and colors and visual puns:

Edible Complex seeks to explore our personal and cultural relationships to food, and the effect of social networking on the ever-evolving ecosystem of admiring, eating and wasting food in the Bay Area. San Francisco has an intricate connection with the act of creating and consuming cuisine; with more restaurants per capita than any other American city, we are constantly bombarded with options and information. The show features paintings created both individually and in collaboration with one another, exploring a range of themes, from San Francisco as a transient city, our flourishing food-truck industry, and our relationship with what we consume.

That sounds good and all, but I'm here for whimsical pictures of taco trucks with scary giant spinning clown tacos on top… a mobile Mexican Doggie Diner, if you will.  And I'm sure you are too.

Oh, and they even took the noted taco truck meal of fish tacos into their delicious fantasy world:
