Print Zines

I'm making a print zine for the first time since like 1996 or something. It's been a hell lotta fun already.
anyone still do print zines?
I'm totally willing to send copies to folks when it's printed, though it might not be all that interesting to people that don't live in Oregon.

I decided to just use the old zine title, Big Nog, and pretend there was no time between issues. haha.

I've contemplated doing a zine or comic loads but I never do it!

i miss the days of the zines. blogs have a lot to answer for. I used to love reading them or contributing. zine redux all the way

mine will be too local for distro, but maybe in the future if this goes well, i'll do a not so local one. i think it would be fun!

This is really cool. A shortscale zine would be pretty cool, with members each doing a page? Maybe something to think about...

that's the key for me too.
i want to make something people bring home to read on the shitter. and i mean that in the best way.
if they leave it in a magazine rack next to the shitter, better yet.
I got cartoons from this modern world, and john crawford, and cd's from ICP with a tiny shit zine which i think is facsincating. the donations, not the zine
