Blinky : The Friendly Hen

description

Artist's book by Jeffrey Vallance that tells the story, in text and photographs, of Vallance's purchase of a frozen chicken at the supermarket, his naming it Blinky, his purchasing a casket for it, and it's burial at the Los Angeles Pet Cemetery where to this day you can visit it's grave and see Blinky's headstone. Includes copies of receipts as well as the impression its body left on a paper towel. Funny, strange and morbid. This is the second edition. The first edition was published in an edition of 550 by Graphix Artist Press, Los Angeles, in 1979.
