I *finally* fulfilled a dream I had in 1993 (in 2011) and made a paper zine, with my hands, and my heart, for my friend, Gary Mecija for his birthday.

There was something ridiculously satisfying about folding it and putting it together.

You can Tumblr yourself into a stupor but there’s no paper at the end of the day. I liked getting my fingers inky.

15 or 16 copies of the zine cost about $8, maybe a little more.

I’m thinking about making more zines – and then I will get myself to a zine fest. I love fests!

Illustrations throughout the zine are by JESSIE JOHNSON – check out his Tumblr for more comiques.
