The Happy Dissident.
THE HAPPY DISSIDENT. Beyond the fringe of the American mind the sky turns into shades of Hell, of a world populated by cruel, ruthless demons, running an evil campaign to turn out the lights on the American Dream. But lo, from the shadows of that netherworld arise a singular collection of saints - the dissidents, suffering victims of a sinister empire.

A gift for my friend Phil, who wrote 'The Happy Dissident' [and the caption above] and whose face glares in the dark light behind the sunny smile.
