Editor's Note
Happy 2019 and welcome to the third edition of Scribble.
The featured gems in this issue deftly display less-than-shiny facets of the current American zeitgeist.
Native to North America, by Cavin Gonzalez, follows a millennial's retreat from the gaslit American Dream.
JP Sortland's Pop humorously illustrates the bizarre lengths tribalism takes in a small town.
Finally, Tyler Phelps gives us The Madonna Under the Willow, a re-imagining of the Immaculate Conception. This piece takes #MeToo to an epic level.
Thank you for reading. Enjoy!
