Comics and Zine Binge
The stack of comic books has been ever decreasing and I only have a pair left so here are noteworthy ones:
Doris 15: The Anti-Depression Guide
This one really hit close to home and truthfully I don't know how entertaining it would be for someone that hasn't gone through depression but boy was this one fantastic. I was at first reluctant to pick it up because it was so obviously a zine bound at home by some unknown artist with scraggly writing and equally scraggly drawings but thank god I did. Cindy Crabb is a wonderful angsty writer that I loved reading. I liked her take on the disease and the way she didn't try to forcefeed the same old bullshit I hear all the time on staying calm and blah blah blah. real advice for real people
Skim
Asian girl who's depressed, in a relationship with an older woman teacher... great

Your blog sucks
skim is soooo good!
Actually Cindy's work is quite well known and regarded by many many people. Your ignorance of her work does not call for disparaging it. How can you call yourself "hipster scum" and not know Doris. Dare I say, poser?
i second that, and would add -- how can you be a zine reviewer and be hesitant to pick up something that's obviously homemade/handwritten?? that's, well, sort of the point of zines.
