From 1989 to 1996, while managing BBC Records, I contributed a semi-autobiographical monthly comic strip, The Retail Adventures of Kalli & Rex to Warner Bros. Records' DIRT, a "faux-zine" that was sent out to independent record stores, college radio stations, and various other "tastemakers" in the music industry. The strip was successful in those circles, prompting the label to publish a collection of the complete run of K&R when the strip ended (I left music retail to move to—or next to—NYC to pursue my freelance career, and ended up working at Warner for a few years). WB also published a Kalli & Rex Calendar for 1996 as well. Below are the front and back covers for the collected edition and a few samples from the calendar. Both of them show up on eBay now and then.
