We didn’t have room for this in Thursday’s paper, though I would have loved to read Schmader’s response:

While procrastinating on my studies yesterday, I became very curious about the cover of this week’s (Dec. 1) Stranger. In particular, I was having problems understanding the relationship between the website listed under the volume information (www.marylen.com) and the rest of the cover and/or your periodical as a whole. It seems that www.marylen.com is a website for a woman in Eugene, OR selling her costume design services (especially children’s costumes).

Is this a typo? or am i missing some greater significance to all this?

Best,

Marylen’s costumes are FANTASTIC! (Especially the ocean creatures.)
