Weirdo was a magazine-sized comics anthology created by Robert Crumb and published by Last Gasp from 1981 to 1993.
Weirdo served as a low art counterpoint to its contemporary highbrow Raw. Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumbs interests at the time – outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type anti-propaganda and assorted weirdness. It also introduced artists such as Peter Bagge, Dori Seda and Dennis Worden.
With issue #10, Crumb later handed over the editing reins to Bagge; with issue #18, the reins went to Crumbs wife, cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb. The three editorial tenures were known respectively as Personal Confessions, the Coming of the Bad Boys, and the Twisted Sisters.
Weirdos final issue, #28, an internationally themed 68-page giant titled Verre Deau, was published in 1993.

Magpies are birds of the Corvidae family. Like other members of their family, they are widely considered to be intelligent creatures. The Eurasian magpie, for instance, is thought to rank among the worlds most intelligent creatures, and is one of the few non-mammal species able to recognize itself in a mirror test. They are particularly well known for their songs and were once popular as cagebirds. In addition to other members of the genus Pica, corvids considered as magpies are in the genera Cissa, Urocissa, and Cyanopica.
Magpies of the genus Pica are generally found in temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and western North America, with populations also present in Tibet and high-elevation areas of Kashmir. Magpies of the genus Cyanopica are found in East Asia and the Iberian Peninsula. The birds called magpies in Australia are, however, not related to the magpies in the rest of the world. Magpies are national birds in Bangladesh.
