G'daymate from the land down under. We have to confess to a little skullduggery with this cover. Aussies do have eucalyptus trees, they call them blue gum, and they have plenty of run down farmhouses in the outback, but they don't put their signs on the right side of the road.

We had the sign shipped to us from the giftshop at the Sydney airport and the location is on highway 92 just west of San Francisco bay.

In this issue we interview the chief compuCop of the New South Wales police department. It is not every day that an art director gets to carry a gun at work, but it sure clears the cafeteria.
