About this piece:
In this collection of altered comic book stories from the 1950s, the original dialog has been removed, replaced by deadpan banter between male and female characters on the mythology of modern marriage, supermoms, over the-top weddings, and monogamy, and more. Interspersed are ads from the era, whose absurdity is left intact, in their original, unaltered state.
Materials:
Digital offset altered romance comics, saddle stitch binding
