	The Official Calendar of Y2K By Solveig Singleton April 22, 1999 Professional cartoonist Rex Rubenzer has created the first and only Y2K calendar we've found. You may remember Rubenzer as the author of "You're a Real Cheesehead if..." (a Packer cartoon book) and "Generation Rex" (his original cartoon series). Rubenzer has won several Associated Press awards and his cartoons have appeared in national newspapers. His calendar overflows with lively little details -- a can of Y2K Bug spray, a new cereal (Special Y2K) and a TV dinner (The Last Frozen Supper). Want to know where to go to learn to handle automatic weapons? Why to stock up on doomsday paraphenalia after Jan. 1 2000? How to avoid invading UN troops? Why to beware of Amish? And still remember when Father's Day falls? This calendar's for you. Despite the alarming cover, the very creation of a Y2K calendar bodes well. Life, Daylight Saving Time, and Yom Kippur will go on. You can buy "Survival Tips for the Year 2000 Calendar -- Our Days Are Numbered" at http://www.hnet.net/~rexrube. Cartoons reproduced with the permission of the publisher.
