'Godzilla' Newspaper Box Designed By Somerville Artist Taken From Davis Square

The Digboston box stood out from its neighbors. Now it's gone, says the weekly newspaper.

 

Among the collection of newspaper boxes outside Blue Shirt Cafe in Davis Square, one stood out.

It had little outstretched arms welded to its side and it was painted with sharp teeth and crazy eyes. Called, "Rawr: The Awkward Godzilla," it was designed by Artisan's Asylum artist Cat Tweedie Ball, according to Digboston, which distributed its weekly alternative newspaper using the box. It was one of several specially designed Digboston boxes in Somerville.

Now, according to the newspaper, the box is missing and possibly stolen.

The newspaper asks that anyone who knows about the disappearance contact Craig Terlino at  craigt@digpublishing.com.

One person commenting on the Digboston website thinks the whole thing is a publicity stunt.
