Salted Plastic: Tales of Los Angeles Gentrification

A Tale of Gentrification and Cultural Appropriation in Los Angeles!!!Los Angeles is not the greatest place to be these days for Miguel Lyons, a life time resident of the city. Gentrification, relationship troubles, petty urban disputes, and snobby gentry culture have made LA a bit uninhabitable for his tastes. Lydia Veidt is sick of the fake nerdery that has invaded her job doing public relations and marketing research for P4, the one stop channel for all your watered down "geeky" cravings for contrived gamer/comic book/anime/cosplay culture!Guru Douche and Deirdre Price run a quirky, progressive, millennial oriented real estate agency in Highland Park, where the social revolution never stops, and even the household cat has a hand in breaking the barriers of social progress.Welcome to The Leash, Los Angeles premier club for all culture hunting persona aficionados, eager to dip their feet into the not so grimy underworld of scripted and played out goth/punk rock costume culture; get "spooky" for the night.......window shop the proletariat mentality for awhile........before heading back to that $4000 a month DTLA loft, of course.Jasmine Filth Creature, vermin tattooed assassin, crusades the streets of LA for latent hatchlings on behalf of a clandestine order of outcasts struggling to rid the world of the shadow tyranny of culture vultures, reptilians, and overpriced avocado toast.The pages of Salted Plastic are replete with scenarios and characters both ethereal and familiar, with mentalities and situations varying from surly to farcical. Published single issue as Salted Plastic Los Angeles: Tales of Gentrification, this collection comprises issues 1 and 2.
