by Zach Plague
When the mysterious gray book that drives their twisted relationship goes missing, Ollister and Adelaide lose their post-modern marbles. He plots revenge against art patriarch The Platypus, while she obsesses over their anti-love affair. Meanwhile, the art school sets experiments with bad drugs, bad sex, and bad ideas. But none of these desperate young minds has counted on the intrusion of a punk named Punk and his potent sex drug. This wild slew of characters get caught up in the gravitational pull of The Platypus' giant art ball, where a confused art terrorism cell threatens a ludicrous and hilarious implosion. Zach Plague has written and designed a hybrid typographic novel which skewers the art world, and those boring enough to fall into its traps.

Praise for boring boring boring boring boring boring
“One absurd plot twist after another, a tie-dyed spiral of schemes, porn, and drug-induced insanity. Though boring’s style and theme make it easily likened to Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya, its made-up slang, depraved characters, and sour ending bring it closer to A Clockwork Orange.”
