Bio Auto Graphic #29: 'C'
Michael C. Nicholson / ensixteen editions
The words and names also reveal the political time and place of the zine's creation:
Meanwhile surrounding a drawing of a Trump-a-like:
Compared to previous issues C is word heavy. Where the companion issues A and B are visual meditations that use the letter as a jumping off point, this issue has more in common with experimental literature and artist books - think oulipo and Walter Abish - than with narrative driven graphic work. Despite the volume of C words Michael still uses the page to explore the graphic elements of both language and design, space and movement.
C proves that even after twenty-nine issues Bio Auto Graphic still has the ability to surprise and intrigue. If you are new to this zine the ABC series is a great place to begin, you'll be rewarded with something special.

Bio Auto Graphic #29 is a stream of consciousness constrained by the letter C. Through an accumulation of TV and film references, names of celebrities and friends, phrases and word association, the text forms a catalogue of a particular sensibility and a personal history.
