Issue 79

 

Loved the results of the homework I set students during summer school, so I completed the same homework for this here zine. Bugger! Wish the results were as good as the students. 

A5. Interior in colour. December 2021

Issue 78



'Is it weird to hide in the library and do automatic writing? It probably seems a bit adolescent. "What!? You got hopped up on Dada and Burroughs and off to do your automatic writing?" How fucking old are you!? Age is also a construct, to a point. What if nothing productive comes of this? Then I can just write an editorial about how I took myself to the library like some teenage bitch and wasted three days of my life, and here's some more 5-minute midnight drawings.'

Issue 77


 It's a teenage diary. It's boring and awkward. I have teenagers of my own now. I read them an excerpt, they told me not to print it. Cancel my kids.

I print this because it's boring and awkward. We are all boring and awkward. Especially at 18, in Hamilton, in 1984. 

(5th of the teenage diary issues. Also see issues 36, 40, 43, and 62)

Issue 76



"Time flies when you're head down arse up in the domestic kaka. Fourteen years ago (issue 26) Daniel Powell and I created our first diary comics to be presented as parallel strips linking my Wellington (Aotearoa) and Daniel's Verl (Germany). Back then our respective lives involved infants and toddlers, broken sleep and dirty nappies... Now Daniel and I have teenage children, dipping their toes in life's boozy waters 

...grander themes are almost lost to life's everyday soup of emails, caffeine, weather reports etc etc."

First A4 zine.
