Today’s book mail. Some women collect shoes, some collect husbands. I like my choices.

Tom Hück's tongue-in-cheek print reveals the absurdity of modern warfare. Taking its tidle from the infamously inaccurate ballistic missiles, SCUDS features a bevy of these Cold War weapons careening through space. They are piloted by an eccentric cast that includes a wild-eyed, serpent-tongued figure symbolizing Death.
Many artists printed repeatedly with The Lawrence Lithography Workshop, including Hück: "Mike [Sims] has been a great supporter of mine, knowing that my satirical prints are not always an easy sell. That means a lor: Mike cares about the art first."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:owmnnda3uswzcl2ssduoxj3d/bafkreihizm27homakkkhic7h7zeck22okqw43vsdooqs3hf7jjvblqmyyy)
