UNDERDOG
THE SKY SEEN FROM BELOW
Issue 2: ‘Underdog’
In 1859, a poet wrote that he would side with the dog pinned underneath in a fight—not because it would win, but because it was underneath.
Issue 2 of O/D starts again from where that poem stood.
There is no come-from-behind home run. But the sky, seen from below, was wider than we thought.
