A cartoon illustration of Molly Ivins says, “Howdy, y’all. Texas sure can be the Strangest State. Let’s see what happened since our last issue.” The IRS hands a tax form to the Marfa Invitational's art installation. A passenger on a crowded plane farts loudly as passengers look on in disgust Art Acevedo rides on top of a bucking horse as he leaves town An octopus holds on to cash, jewelry, drugs and sits near a cracked safe. The last panel returns to the smiling Molly Ivins in a blue blouse. “Well folks, that’s some strange news isn’t it? If you see something happening around town, give us a shout!”
