The art scene is , to many of us, a hobby. Yet the groups which release their pack s to the underground are constantly expected to surpass their prev ious efforts, and are reviled or considered "dead or dying" if the y don't. This is particularly true of the older, longer-lived art grou ps which, if they're like DARK, stay together more out of respec t and companionship for one another than pleasing the #ansi regulars. Don't take this as an excuse to slack off; that's not the cas e. But we'd like to be able to relax and have fun drawing, good or bad, and not have to put up with the potshots and unfriendly fire from the sidelines, where the envious or uninspired seek to exact what little satisfaction they can by slandering us. We try not to take anything too seriously, but we're not over ly tolerant of the ignorant or misguided opinions that seem to f lood our mailboxes anytime the group seems to have lost steam. Have patience. You might find, if you bite your tongue and s pare us the insolent remarks, that we'll surprise you. Groups News --- Joining us this month in the ANSI division are Deacces sion and Discofunk 1974, and Chris Lee to the VG A department. Deaccession has returned from his wandering, in the tradition  of The Green Hornet and The 4th Disciple, and we anxiously await  the release of "Demesne", his BBS-turned-Emag. Speaking of The 4th Disciple, we've recieved word he's retiring from scene activities, and plans to settle down with a local herd of water buffalo, to perfect his migration techniques. ;) W e wish him all the best. Also, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Acidic Soap. We've gift-wrapped a Cuban cigar and a bottle of Captain Morgan's as a rite of passage. Have a great one!
