ARCHY AND MEHITABEL
In a surrealistic sequence, Archy and Mehitabel as "flotsam and jetsam on the sea of life" float along on a garbage can lid as the city becomes a "sea:' Archy becomes inebriated and winds up in a jewel box bordello as a guest of the "ladybugs of the evening:' Scene from the poem "archy declares war:' as he rallys the insects to battle with the thoughtless humans who massacre insects indiscriminantly. Below: Fine Arts Films logo. Facing page: Production layouts for two of the most colorful film sequences, and two excellent examples of the philosophy embodied in the writing of Don Marquis. At left is "the lesson of the moth:' At right, "the flattered lightning bug" who puts on a proud display of pyrotechnics for the alley's citizens. Marquis ends the poem with: he got so vain of himself i had to take him down a peg you ve made lightning for two hours little bug i told him but i don t hear any claps of thunder yet there are some men like that when he wore himself out mehitabel the cat ate him archy

BY RICHARD BRAUTIGAN A few years ago (World War II) 1 lived in a motel next to a Swift packing plant which is a nice way of saying slaughterhouse. They killed pip there, hour after hour, day after day, week after week. month after month until spring became summer and summer became fall, by cutting their throats after which would follow a squealing lament equal to an opera being run through a garbage disposal. Somehow I thought that killing all those pip had something to do with winning the war. I guess that ¡was bec:ause everything else did. For the fint week or two that we lived in the motel it really bothered me. All that screaming was bard to take, but then I grew used to it and it became like any other sound: a bird singing in a tree or the noon whistle or the radio or trucks driving by or human voices or being called for dinner, etc. "You can play after dinntrf" Whenever the pigs weren't screaming. the silence sounded as if a machine bad broken down.
