In honor of Boing Boing’s 6th anniversary, here’s a PDF scan of the second issue of bOING bOING, published sixteen years ago, in January, 1990. This issue includes an article about the over-domestication of Americans by Antero Alli, cartoons by Dennis Worden, Ace Backwords, Rudy Rucker, and me, a review of Dan Clowe’s Eightball #1 and #2, articles about brain machines (which I am embarrassed about), a review of Rudy Rucker’s artifical life software, CA LAB, a great essay on Ribofunk by Paul Di Filippo, and a biography of the US government’s own LSD evangelist, Al “Cappy” Hubbard.
