Fray 3 Walkthrough

A walkthrough of Fray issue 3: Sex & Death.

(Thanks to the ever-talented Kevin Meredith for making this video. The song is "Tayter Country" by the Cavedogs, used with admiration if not permission.)

Fray’s Privacy Please Door Hanger

fray-door

Every issue of Fray comes with a little special something for subscribers. Issue 1: Busted! came with a vinyl sticker. Issue 2: Geek came with a pocket protector.

This time the surprise gift was a "Privacy Please" door hanger featuring the amazing cover illustration by Frank Barbara. I thought it fit the Sex & Death theme.

Want one? There’s only one way to get it. Subscribe!
