[Jandek] Does anyone ever get the feeling?

[Lauren Ciechanowski]

Does it really kill the Houston/no-basement idea if that photo was taken
in a basement? Seriously, the man would have been 33 when the P.O. Box
first appeared in 1978, and the Follow cover does NOT feature a 33 year
old man. I'm younger than that, and have already lived in three different
locations in my life.

I would wager that roughly half the cover art, if that, was taken in Houston.
