Pop-culture crossword & book giveaway 👙
Let's play games and win stuff.
Before you whip off your T-shirt and sprint through a sprinkler, play my Summer Pop-Culture Crossword!
Solve it online or take a printout to the beach. I tried not to make it *too* hard, though I'm pretty sure my mom will struggle with 8 Across and 3 Down.

And that's not all: Scroll down for a book giveaway!
My friend Howard Paar has had an amazing career as a music supervisor, record exec and club owner that includes working with everyone/everything from The Clash to "The Big Lebowski."
In his new book, TOP RANKIN', Howard tells the story of a ska club in 1980 Los Angeles that bears a strong resemblance to the one he started back in the day, The ON Klub. The "mem-noir" features cameos by real musicians and cultural icons, and Howard even made a Spotify soundtrack to go with it.
Howard was a longtime Pop Candy fan, and he'd like to send one reader of this newsletter a signed copy of TOP RANKIN'. To enter, email whitmath@gmail.com with a sentence or two about why you wanna read it! The deadline to enter is Wednesday, June 23.
That's all for this week! Thanks to Albert and Nicholas for being new supporters at patreon.com/whitneymatheson! Look for a new podcast episode today and a fresh batch of comics next week.
Find me anytime at whitmath@gmail.com or inside your left ear.
