Skive Magazine

from the EDITORIAL by Matthew Glenn WardWelcome to the beginning of THIS ISSUE OF Skive! This nutso-formatted issue is dedicated to ‘April Fools’ Day’ or ‘All Fools Day’ (the 1st day of April). As you might have guessed, reading starts at the back of the magazine and finishes at the front, in a conventional sense that is (perhaps this will be the issue that gets us to strike it rich in Japan, where right-to-left publications are more de rigueur). There are direction arrows in the headers, just in case you get lost. Firstly, the cover, blatantly borrowed from Monty Python’s LP ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ (1970). The Python titles have been scribbled out and Skive info has been written elsewhere on the image. “April Fool’s, Terry Gilliam!” (Actually, Python did something similar in 1971 with a Beethoven LP, so our cover ‘vandalism’ is an homage to their cover ‘vandalism’).Next, a big thankyou to the many writers and artists who contributed their inspired craziness to the magazine you are about to read; in such large numbers, in fact, I am pushed to a 1 x page Editorial ;-)cheers,Matt Ward, Editor
