Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Life #2 And thus continues the second round of Kisha's hilarious and tragic life! This issue covers grades 3 thru 7 when Kisha finds her first girlfriends, embraces punk rock and begins to menstruate. Though these past experiences could be considered embarrassing and traumatizing, Kisha always adds a a great deal of humor to her stories about growing up. And my favorite story is when her Mom tries so hard to make a bad ass florescent outfit for Kisha to wear to school. Awesomely awesome! »More Details
	The First Seven Inch was Better: How I Became an Ex-Punk Nia (Angry Black-White Girl and Borderlands) comes forward to declare her status as an ex-punk. She criticizes anarcho-punk and many activist scenes for its ignorance and the lack of inclusion of folks of color, women and queers. Nia refuses to leave a part of herself at the door in order to adjust to the whiteness and maleness of a musical scene that she once truly enjoyed. The zine also includes a pull-out portion in which you can take along to your next show in order to challenge yourself, your friends and other bystanders. »More Details

	These Here Are Crazy Times #1 This well-written documentation of Sarah May's adventures in Reno, Walla Walla, Eugene and a Food Hole deli left me feeling warm inside. She writes in detailed vignettes about sexist punk scenes, airport desperation, homemade slip n' slides, late night bike rides, and prepping rotisserie chickens. This is really a gem! »More Details
	These Here Are Crazy Times #2 Sarah May edited her recently deceased grandmother's life story in this nifty little zine. All told from her grandmother's perspective, she recounts men trying to hit on her during WWII, her brother's deaths, and the miscarriage of one of her children. This is a sweet look at the family members that we usually don't see as individuals until it is too late. »More Details
	Toothworm #4 The fabulous drawings and the following quote on the first page made me fall in love with this zine:"sorry in advance for all the shit talking. next time don't be such a fuck." And it is not that Emmalee does a ton of shit talking in this zine, but more of a reflection on her life right now, responsibilities, fucked up family memories, and drunken trips to the emergency room. Told in a fast pace, stories pieced together with amazing drawings and quotes falling in and out of context. »More Details

	Truckface #10 Compiled during one of the blizzards of 2007, LB recounts her adventures of the past year. Creepy bosses that pinch, easy jobs with odd customers, family problems, a 38 hour train ride to post-Katrina New Orleans, and numerous underpants mishaps. It's over, at least it is finished, and it's in double digits! »More Details
	Truckface #11 This issue is appropriately subtitled "adult times" as we find LB in a whole new life. Shuffling from one adult job to the next--from teacher observer to librarian to teacher's assistant to possible armpit fetish model. The stories recount LB's experiences as a teacher's aide at city high schools that have been written off as "failing," leaving the students behind to essentially fend for themselves. Hopeful and sarcastic all at once, it's text heavy, a bit more serious, but as always trying to grab a smile from your lips with the janky drawings and embarrassing situations. »More Details
	Truckface #12 Balancing passing as an adult with bouts of body odor and bad skin, LB tries to survive her months as a student teacher of high school English. This issue is filled with funny and awkward stories about day-break bus rides, inspirational students, fist fights, failed lesson plans, stolen essays, and trying to bring life back into one classroom. There are also a few summertime travel stories to unwind as the school year ends. It is about students and teachers learning from one another, creating together, and hopefully becoming better folks in the meantime. »More Details
	Truckface #13 Issue 13 details lb's unlucky first year of teaching high school. Retelling the highs and many lows of a difficult year.

It was a rough year, but it will only get better. »More Details
	Truckface #7 This issue of Truckface deals with L.B's experience with working in the deli of a grocery store, as well as other happenings in her life. Very well-written and funny, parts of this had me rolling in laughter. »More Details
	Tuff Town #1 This was a pleasant surprise in my mailbox. I read it immediately and contacted Naomi right away to get some copies. A quick, but satisfying read about staying loyal to your hometown even though it lacks a cohesive queer scene, gentrification, supporting friends, and various forms of assimilation. It is super tough! It is Tuff Town! »More Details
	Tuff Town #2 Written in a stream of consciousness style, all go no stopping, through Naomi's wondrous and traumatizing summer. Comparing alcoholics fathers on a bicycle trip leads directly into a dumpster diving adventure that sends them to an extended stay in a jail cell. Stories told in a way that is so fast that your head is nodding in agreement and you barely have time to catch your breath. This is really good stuff and Tuff Town is becoming one of my favorite new zines around. »More Details
