SPACE AGE! That umbrella that covered post-WW2 pop culture which gave us elaborate offerings like Martin Denny Records, tiki bars, 8-track tapes, the Las Vegas Strip, disco movies and, most of all, old oddball buildings that looked like they came from Hawaii or outer space (which ever was closest). SPACE AGE ASH TRAY is a bulk of one fanboy's failure to join in this party. With art, articles, rants and comics, DON FIELDS pays small personal tribute to those days of daring cultural do.

Since 1990, Shmuck-O Rat had been polluting the streets of Venice Beach, pop culture and various forms of media like zines, books and books with his drunken rage, lack of enthusiasm and immature attitude. Now gone digital, Shmuck-O continues his safari of slack through the dime-a-dozen world of the internet comics strip. Amidst this rampage and within the pages of this collection, he crashes a Steely Dan concert and it crashes back, survives Mardi Gras in New Orleans…just barely, swims through a BP related oil spill only to be cornered by Tea Baggers on crack, up against a wall with a script from ‘Xanadu’, meets ‘The Son Of Valdez’ and whatever the human race can throw at a drunk rat. All this waits for him and you, the unfortunate reader, in this second collection of the adventures of Shmuck-O Rat
