This art was also used for the "Eightball" Zippo lighter, produced in 1996 by “Smoke King”. Clowes is often noted for his offbeat depictions of oddball characters, and this art is no different, featuring a sweating woman w/antennae protruding from her forehead sitting amongst flames. Hand-lettered "Eightball" logo at top along w/Clowes' name. This art was also published in “Scorched Art: The Incendiary Aesthetic of FlameRite Zippos“ book.
