Introduction to a strange subject

OKEY-DOKEY
Statement of Purpose
By Bobby Campbell

Running riddle and fluid answer, OKEY-DOKEY is a mighty allegory of the fall and resurrection of mankind. It is a strange book, a compound of fable, symphony, and nightmare-a monstrous enigma beckoning imperiously from the shadowing pits of sleep. Its mechanics resemble those of a dream, a dream which has freed the author from the necessities of common logic and has enabled him to compress all periods of history, all phases of individual and racial development, into a circular design, of which every part is beginning, middle, and end.

That’s actually Joseph Campbell’s description of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, a book from which I’ve borrowed a basic structure and used towards creating a new myth. Not unlike how Joyce used The Odyssey to generate Ulysses. OKEY-DOKEY attempts to overwhelm the reader w/ information, using pastiche, pun, & parable to disengage belief and suggest fantasy, amor et hilaritas! (love & cheerfulness) E.E. Cummings is said to have exclaimed at Ezra Pound, while visiting him in asylum, “I know what you’re up to you goddamn sadist! You’re trying to make people THINK!” To that charge I am at least guilty of premeditation. Marshal McLuhan suggests that Information Overload provokes Pattern Recognition, and the kind of Isomorphic Associations that often yield innovation, a resource more precious than $$$. The first 2 issues of OKEY-DOKEY have mostly just baffled the few people goodly enough to read them, but I think/hope that whatever the reader can parse together out of the chaos comes w/ a unique value that might somehow make their effort worth the while. The 3rd issue has over 75 pages of art already completed, whatever may get made of the story as current, will soon give way to something else entirely.

OKEY-DOKEY divides into 2 Narratives:

@gnosis! w/ art by Marcelino Balao III & JOKELAND w/ art by Todd Purse.

These 2 plot threads personify the dichotomy of Sun & Moon, which in Chinese translates as Intelligence. When you read the book you move through an intelligence. Intelligence & Movement translates as Tao or Process. OKEY-DOKEY is the process of @gnosis! & Jokeland weaving together such that no real division exists, suggesting the same of such famous bifurcations as Time/Space, Body/Mind, Man/Nature, Life/Death, Subject/Object, and whatever else. This union of opposites comes to expression in all the great myths of the world. I have tried to amalgamate this diverse multitude into a brand new form of forms and/or fart joke.

Global Warping!

The winter has been kind & wonderful to field workers this year, perhaps too much so in regards to global climate concerns, aber es pura teoria! (KUNG SAY: Never surrender concrete to abstract) Though I have a fine regard for the reality of toxicity, I find no hypothesis compelling enough to begrudge a beautiful day today for a supposed day tomorrow, nor do I think taking things seriously necessarily corresponds to reacting effectivly. I recycle, bicycle, & plot for change, but don't think mankind has done this planet "wrong". We are the planet! Industrial smoke stacks are no less NATURAL than dandelions, otherwise they wouldn't exist (and he who denies it may his hairs be rubbed!) That popular thought seperates the processes of man/nature speaks only to THE SECRET OF POWER (or rather the predominance of stupidity, SHIT, I know I got it pretty bad!) Whatever changes we endure now through infinity & back again/always: 100% All Natural... So I mean like, do I care about the environment? yeah, of course, but I certainly don't give a fuck!

All that said,

NOW PLAYING:

PART ONE & PART TWO

The original trade was a Porno Web Banner for a DVD w/ all Adobe programs. Though then y'know I figure give a man a fish V. teach a man to fish and instead learned that you can download a free program from AZUREUS and use it to download free programs from places such like HYPOH & TORRENTS.TO, and SUDDENLY; a free info market!
