New zine to celebrate Kalamazoo's artistic underground

No More Coffee #3

No More Coffee #3
28 pgs, digest
$2 US, free to prisoners

Short fiction vignettes. I liked this issue even more than #2. Unusually crisp writing for a zine. I'm half way through this and haven't found a single thing to nit pic over. One piece in particular elicited quite an unexpected emotional response, which is not easy; I'm somewhat jaded and tend to be pretty critical of prose. Well done.

Undeleted Scenes

We Gotta Get Real Jobs #3

We Gotta Get Real Jobs #3

20 pages, half digest, $3.00, gormlesspillocks(at)gmail.com
20 pages is misleading, since aside from the colour stuck-on bits on the powder blue cardboard cover, there are only eight pages of stuff in here. That "stuff" is drawings of loser-type men saying things like, "I don't really think of myself as 'alone' ... I mean, there's gotta be a word more distressingly hopeless than 'alone'." The drawings are pretty good, and I think I know what the creators were going for (the dark humour side of men who will never get a girlfriend) but it didn't work for me.

Bizarrism #11


40 pages, A4 size, $6.00 within AUS, $8.00 US cash WORLD - cathob(at)zip.com.au +++ www.bizarrism.com +++ Chris Mikul, PO Box K546, Haymarket NSW 1240, AUSTRALIA
When you're a kid you get excited about things like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy. After that you get excited about things like a new issue of Bizarrism.
There's a whole bunch of great stuff in this one: Ernie Ridding: The Fridge Man of Glebe; superhero comics sadist Fletcher Hanks; The Case of the Garrotted Sherlockian; The Return of the Sky People: A Brief History of the Raelians; The Return of Joyce McKinney; The Senile Surgeon (Ferdinand Sauerbruch); The UFO Man of Sydney; the Chen Tao cult; My Favourite Dictators No. 5 : [paranoid Albanian lunatic] Enver Hoxha; book reviews and more.
Bizarrism rocks, it's as simple as that.
