-Caveat Lector- NOTE: The following is forwarded from the Comix Discussion List, which links alternative comics creators, fans, scholars, and publishers worldwide. It is the fourth e-mail from Serbian cartoonist Sasa Rekazic (aka Aleksandar Zograf), creator of Alas!, Life Under Sanctions, and Psychonaut. He has been witnessing the bombing of Pancevo by NATO. Currently, he is having trouble sending messages now that the infrastructure is being bombed (see below). But, for the moment, he is able to send from the PPM (Pancevo Peace Movement) .
