The Weird Show ’20
Interview from 2020-11-10
“Plastikcomb, a magazine that’s like biting into a bratwurst, but it tastes like cake. Delicious!”
TWS –Which magazines / publications were the ones that influenced you the most and work as references that guided and inspired you when working on this project?
Aaron L. Beebe – I was introduced to Raygun through my best friend Chris Ferebee in the early 90s. He had actually worked with David Carson on a few editions, and they used some of his artistic imagery. When I first saw the magazine, I was instantly hooked, even though I really didn’t know much about graphic design or typography and still don’t. (Mmmm, pretty words and pictures.) Each page was a work of art in themselves, which Plastikcomb really draws from. I have been asked if my inspiration came from Blah Blah Blah or The Face, but honestly, I really don’t know much about those publications.
