Big Hands 3
24 pages, b&w, 1/2 size, copied, $2.00
3 is a bunch of Aaron's comics about working overnight in a donut shop. Cresent Donut is a Bloomington, Indiana 24 hour donut shop whose donuts may or may not be vegetarian. Is "Cresent" spelled wrong on purpose or is it a family name? We may never know. Anyway Aaron writes about the drunks and weirdos who frequent his job in the night time, as well as his boss busting him for reading on the clock. It's charming in a non-dismissive way.

Emily Frances 1
16 pages, b&w, 1/2 size, copied, $1.00
A whimsical zine by Emily Frances (yes, she named the zine after herself!), it reminds me a lot of Cindy Crabb's zine Doris. In it there are cute little drawings interspersed with personal anecdotes about unemployment, moving, celebrity worship within the punk counterculture, and other assorted musings. Recommended.

Ladders and Hips: An Open Letter to the Boys in My Life
38 pages, b&w, 1/2 size, copied, $2.50
Kyla!'s open letter to the boys in her life. It's a really honest look at her history with sexual assault, cutting, eating disorders and suicide. It's really personal, and at times painful to read. But there's a lot to identify with inside, like drinking to be loved, and then not being able to justify saying no, and wanting to be seen as person and not just a girlfriend. She says it's the hardest thing she's ever had to write and I believe her.

Like Weeds We Will Grow...
46 pages, b&w, 1/2 size, copied, $2.00
Like Weeds We Will Grow is a zine by Brutus McCrust. It is unknown if there are other issues as it is not numbered but this one features interviews with SEVERED HEAD OF STATE, INSECT WARFARE, GIVE UP ALL HOPE, and THE ASSASSINATORS, as well as various activist notes about the G20 arrestee solidarity campagin, the northern territory intervention, etc.
