I went for a walk with my new friend Mr R. Logan on the sylvan path adjacent to my favourite residential street in the city (Marlborough Place). He took this photograph of me.

Forgotten Definition from Issue No. 12
Government as Selfish Individual Fallacy
Common amongst proponents of neo-conservatism and generally ignorant, reactionary individuals with a libertarian streak, this remarkably ubiquitous fallacy involves a strange, anthropomorphic conception of (democratic) governments as self-serving, avaricious monarchs who want to "take" the hard-earned money of the poor "taxpayer" for themselves. It is a consequence of Western individualism and American conceptions of "freedom" run amok that people conceive of themselves as so independent, self-sufficient, and frankly bratty that they cannot fathom why society ought to involve any sort of sharing or consideration of how others are affected by one's supposed, selfish "freedoms" (like the "right" to bear arms or indulge in environmentally-ruinous practices).

Deep Madder Radio, Episode One
We here at Deep Madder are pleased to announce that the first episode of the soon-to-be-regular Deep Madder Radio feature is now ready for mass consumption. But so as not to sully the pleasing aesthete of this blog with the embedded player's utter hideousness, we instead direct you to this link for all your Episode One listening needs.

Tiny Zine for Limited Time
Do you ever long for a copy of D.M. Monthly whilst "on the move"? D'you go to more places in one day than the editors do in a year? Then you may benefit from this mobile, fetching, and even "cute" version of your favourite zine. You can have it for free for a limited time! All you have to do is care about us. I.e. comment, just once. Please?

Time of Rejoice
At last, both January and February issues of Deep Madder Monthly have parted from their makers unto the local mail box to begin their journey to their rightful, subscribing owners, leaving the editors an empty nest that will only be once again filled within two weeks or so with the next late issue of your beloved periodical.
Love,
Deep Madder

Love
"I recently got one of those blatant spam e-mails saying, 'I've been trying to call you and I miss you,' but I opened it anyways because I would rather destroy my computer than miss out on the slim chance that it was actually you."
-One of many notes to lost love in this episode of WireTap, as (I think) sent to CBC by listeners and read out by CBC Radio employees
"I Google you every day. Sometimes I want to see you so badly that I stay up for hours trying to find you. On those days, I'll type your name and my name right after it because it's nice to see us next to each other like that."
"Every time I drove you home I prayed for traffic."
"I keep trying to get my hair back to exactly the way it was when you loved me."
These quotations are alarmingly germane to Deep Madder. They make my eyes slightly watery and my chest feel a little weird.
New Year of Deep Madder Monthly Imminent
For any of you who have noticed, fear not; the retarded release of January's issue of our publication does not signal its cessation. In fact, as we speak, your humble editors are hard at work on said issue as well as that of February so as to shower our readers with a sudden Deep Madderian explosion heretofore unseen. Indeed, within a week (or two, at the most), expect to feast on two charming bundles of literary delight, presented in a new style and format to mark the año nuevo.
