Free Spirit News is a free, submission based, art and satire newsprint publication made in Portland Oregon. The newspaper contains no “news,” but rather a collection of comics, drawings, jokes, puzzles, poetry, gags, optical illusions, visionary doodles and other untethered expressions. The news of the spirit! 

For the past few years, Free Spirit News has been working to compile a hard bound book collection of the entire run of the paper thus far. The impending hefty tome “Realistic Future Nudes and Other Issues: A Free Spirit News Anthology 2012-2021” contains all fourteen issues, including photos, ephemera and other related nonsense. Published in collaboration with Floating World Comics and Container Corps Press, the book should make a wonderful coffee table book, door stop, and a supremely effective bathroom reader. 

In addition to a small but very helpful RACC (RIP!) grant a few years back, this Crowdfundr Pre-order is the the main funding source for this book. In a perfect world this collection would be free just like the paper, but alas. The final book will retail in shops for $45-$50, but you can order yours today for the low low price of $40. Many deluxe options also exist, which include fun extras and goodies. If all goes according to plan the book should begin shipping out early in the new year and make a great post holiday gift.
