"the smudge is a monthly newspaper offering articles, interviews, comics, and advice from a range of unique thinkers and creators. at a time when many of us have been searching for ways to contribute, we decided we'd use the tool we know best: PRINT. we're not activists, we're not editors, but we have a printer and we know how to use it. so, in the spirit of the underground and alternative presses of the 60's and 70's, we hope to offer a unique voice and a different perspective on the issues and events that affect us all. and hopefully we can squeeze some good comics in there as well." - the smudge
