Spread No. JJ-01 is a contemporary junk-journal artwork assembled by hand from twentieth-century printed fragments and modern craft materials, photographed at The Paper Age pop-up display in 2026. Its two pages layer Mickey Mouse comic panels of the early 1930s, a miniature reproduction of Hamilton King's 1910 "Coca-Cola Girl", a Knights of Columbus free-mail coupon fragment, Wrigley's Spearmint packaging and a Thai "MEKONG" label header, alongside contemporary stickers and cards. Identifications are preliminary: every component was catalogued from a single photograph of the finished spread, pending flat scans of the individual pieces.
