This is a collection of 150 postcard size images, created by Mark Mothersbaugh. These are black and white reprints of the postcard drawings that Mark usually creates everyday. The images in this collection are from 1986-1987, and additionsal text in the style of museum gallery descriptions are added for each image on the opposite page. In this book his DEVO band, stage persona "Booji Boy" is also makes a appearance. Sometimes in the forrm of a short story about the image, or simply a description of the images themselves. Many images contain nudity. There is a mock introductory letter by writer Jerry Stahl, describing himself as a reverend, and denouncing the filth, that is presented in the book. This is followed by a introduction, in which Mark mentions the various insperations for the drawings, and the time period in which they were created, and that he hoped to make more volumes in this series. Several of his other postcard images would be released in books, magazines throught the years. However as of 2018, this is the only book entirly DEVOted to the subject. Instead of a dust jacket to this paperback book, it originaly came with two paper "o" ring strips, that covered the book, and must be slipped off to open the book. A advertisment for this book was released in liner notes of the CD release for "Muzik for Insomniaks", Volume 1, and Volume 2, where the book was advertised.
