This super tiny zine is the smallest I've ever reviewed on this site! It's a short comic about how Aimee started breakdancing and fell in love with it.
The art's pretty basic (at least partially due to the very small size she had to deal with), but the story is told in an amusing manner so it doesn't matter that much.
It's cute (though really too short for an actual review), and I hope it encouraged someone to start breakdancing (or doing something fun at any rate).

I was attracted to this zine by the plastic cover, and the way the words were printed on it.
Inside I found a poem. Or a series of poems. About a boy. And the author's relationship with him. And how it seemed to have been terrible, but at the time they might not have known this. And how they wanted to get out, but that was harder than they thought.
The text is typewritten, and placed on top of black and white images and photographs.
Apparently some combination of all these things meant that the poetry actually registered in my mind (perhaps it was those references to the postal service), and that I enjoyed this zine. Hurray!
Hello there!
Your blog is great. Good luck and lot of enthusiasm for your next works. I know it is hard sometimes. I am doing two blogs. MUZIKA-KOMUNIKA - mostly about the music and the second one - GALERIA - about d.i.y. art/drawings (not only mine). These are things I like. I am into punk/alt music almost 17 years and into drawing more than 20.
I send you a link to my zine. I done it this summer. Mosly my artwork and drawings (but also few of my friends arts included). If you like it, you can post it.
My art-zine you can find HERE. (Direct LInk)
all the best

The G20 protests in Toronto in 2010 were pretty horrible. The police abused their power (surprise, surprise) to assault, arrest, inconvenience, and infringe upon the rights of protesters and random people who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It led to the largest mass arrests in Canadian history.
This zine doesn't really go into much detail about the events, the protests, the terrible conditions detainees were kept in, or anything else. It assumes you know what the G20 is, what the protests were about, and a number of other things.
But I found it worth reading because it gave me an idea that I'd never thought of before. It claims that the police abandoned police cars at strategic places because they knew they'd get vandalized/burnt. This had a three-fold effect. It concentrated the protesters efforts on something that didn't do anything, it captured the media's attention (and influenced how they reported the events), and then when the media did cover these things in a negative way it turns the viewer away from the causes the protesters supported.
I think the world is totally fucked up at the moment because there's a distribution problem. There's too much wealth and too much power placed in one solitary areaPaul Weller

It's Xmas! So you should read Ratcharge #21 (minus the Dirty Alleys Dirty Minds half) or if you prefer download it by clicking here, then start your own zine.
