Available Again

I understand there are a few copies of Cirkus New Orleans available again, so I recommend any one wishing to read the exploits of a retarded sex cirkus bopping about New Orleans in the first year of our new millenium best to get to gettin' while the gettin's able. This comic was twice written up in The Comics Journal for it's awesomeness, and was criticized by Robert Crumb as being "incoherent chaos". So it's somethin'.

The Sewer

"Anal Fucking Desecrates Holy Ground" is the name of the 2 page story Robin Bougie wrote and I drew for the latest issue of his great Cinema Sewer. You can get it probly at stores with small press stuff and Tower Records or offa the web site.

Lil' things

(*) So there's this new book out edited by Leif Goldberg with lots of crack drawings and prisoner art called Free Radicals, and it's got 4 pages of my drawrings, I reckon you can find ordering info about it here.
(*) Undie Press has put out a couple of punch-to-the-gut novels so far, and I dig 'em. They're using some of my illustrations on the website, have yourself a looksy.

Who gives a drunken hobo clown a stun gun?

Yesterday I was working wearing shorts in a bleary hungover state and looking down at my leg exclaimed "What the shit?!?" because my right thigh was covered in blotchy red spots I perplexed over this for a little while and then through the haze came the rememberance: I'd seen some old Cirkus friends doing their new Big Bang Cirkus thing the night before in Providence and discovered to my horror that Stumpy had that's right his own happy little stun gun which some deranged FOOL had given over at some point on the road, luckily for everyone there the battery was very low so it just gave a mildy painful spastic jerk yer muscles kinda zap, naturally I asked Stumpses to keep hitting me all through the night as there's nothing like a little slap ya upside the asscheek kinda wake me up to keep one rollin' along right proper. So I was pleased upon recall that I didn't have some new exciting skin disease eating away at my flesh and quite happy I gotta say for Stumps. That lucky, lucky clown, with his funtastic new toy.

Genital Action

The current issue of Hustler (June 2005) that's in the shoppes right now has a few pictures I took of my friend Aura Fist lifting a 6-pack of tall boys with her vaginal folds. Also there are photographs of naked women and sex people in there, for those of you who enjoy that sort of thing.

A few things

*******Firstly, thanks to King Dong Caelum for all the help and work he's put into putting up the site.

*******And, there's a new book out all about this whole modern Cirkus revival thing that's been going on the last 10-15 years or so, and there's a whole big chapter in it about the Cirkus group I was with for a while, the End of the World Cirkus and Know Nothing Family Zirkus Zideshow. There're also a number of great photos, including a big color shot of me rubbing my nuts as Spanky Ass-Blood the clown. For anyone who's read my comics about the Cirkus and wants to see photos of 6-packs of beer hanging from pussy lips, pervert clowns, ridiculously stupid acts-- as well as a mostly dead-on account of our shenanigans-- as well as the stories of a number of other, far more talented groups-- and a fabulously ORANGE cover-- go check out FREAKS and FIRE: THE UNDERGROUND REINVENTION of CIRKUS, by J. Dee Hill, over at www.softskull.com ------

Hello, yes, here it is

www.joshuahallsimmons.com is my website and it is officially up, I wanted to call it www.sanitycentral.com but unfortunately that title was taken by what looks to be a support group for harried housewives, and they really probably need it more than me. www.joshsimmons.com is taken too, so I chose to run with my full force, God-given, Christian name, and a wise choice I feel it's gonna work out to be, which I'm sure you'll agree on. Anyway, enjoy the site, I'm gonna post some happy news soon-----
