A break from the usual literary journal - full of creative foolishness.
Page after page of non-realistic fun. Pleased to be a part of it.

What an honor it is to be published in this issue! What a great issue
to read. My colleagues were impressed by the glossy front and back
covers and the quality of content of the pages within. Thank you!

Come on! Ya got to love a book dedicated to tomfoolery. So much fun
and such good therapy for those days when you need a laugh. Just
remember, the book reads back to front, which is very beneficial
for ridding your brain of those corner cobwebs. Forget the counseling
sessions that cost a cool fifty bucks an hour, this is all you need
to put a smile back on your face and it cost a lot less.

from the EDITORIAL
by Matthew Glenn Ward
Welcome to the beginning of THIS ISSUE OF Skive!
This nutso-formatted issue is dedicated to ‘April Fools’ Day’ or ‘All
Fools Day’ (the 1st day of April). As you might have guessed,
reading starts at the back of the magazine and finishes at the front,
in a conventional sense that is (perhaps this will be the issue that
gets us to strike it rich in Japan, where right-to-left publications
are more de rigueur). There are direction arrows in the headers,
just in case you get lost.
Firstly, the cover, blatantly borrowed from Monty Python’s
LP ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ (1970). The Python
titles have been scribbled out and Skive info has been written elsewhere
on the image. “April Fool’s,
Terry Gilliam!” (Actually, Python did something similar
in 1971 with a Beethoven LP, so our cover ‘vandalism’ is
an homage to their cover ‘vandalism’).
Next, a big thankyou to the many writers and artists who contributed
their inspired craziness to the magazine you are about to read; in
such large numbers, in fact, I am pushed to a 1 x page Editorial
;-)
cheers,
Matt Ward, Editor
