Scope and Contents

Pelieu appropriated a hard cover comic strip book and collaged other cut-up comic strips and advertisements onto each page. The order of these collage additions into this book was probably random, an analogy to the cut-up technique popularized by Gyson and Burroughs for literature and poetry. Although unsigned and undated, the spine is collaged with the header of the London Sunday Times August 27 1972.This work was once in the possession of William Burroughs according to Richard Aaron of Am Here Books. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
