Summer in Pain zine

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjRMZf22F_0) Kimmy Whispers is a genius or a madman...or a really big Bulls fan!

Well Poop minicomic by Jim Donaldson

(jimmytwohands.blogspot.com) Scatological Satanism (Scatanism?) from the genius behind Danziggy!

The Best Comic Ever by Mark Rhomberg

(http://markrhomberg.tumblr.com/) Accurate!

The Oubliette by Kenan Rubenstien

(www.underthehaystack.net) These four beautifully printed, folded, designed, and drawn minicomics feature poignant vignettes telling melancholy-tinged tales of beautiful people experiencing sadly romantic relationships with life and each other. The ones about putting your stuff in storage and meeting girls were great, but I really like the nude beach comic the best. 'Cause of the boobs and wangs.

King Crow Comics #1

(by Scott Kroll) I love this funny minicomic, because I love rats, alien probes and skeleton dogs (although I wasn't aware of the latter until reading this).

Owls Make Lousy People comix by Carl Antonowicz

(http://thulsadude.tumblr.com/) This profoundly amusing collection of gag panels featuring information about owls who write novels, give advice, play banjo, watch Mr. T on TV, and bowl could be described as reveling in absurdist non-sequitors...if every word was not true!

Monkey Squad One #9, #10

(Etsy.com/shop/MonkeySquadOne) Two things I learned from these b&w teen superhero rock n roll minicomics: 1. zombies love emo. 2. The condition that causes green radioactive anti-heroes to engage in  monosyllabic, third person, sub-Yoda/Frankenstein speech patterns is called "Hulktarded."

The Canadian Romantic by the Canadian Romantic


(www.publicationstudio.biz/books/152) This inkily-illustrated guide to love, lust, Canada, and lovingly lusting for/in/by Canada may be the first print publication capable of transmitting chlamydia. It’s like Rogaine for a swinger’s moustache!

Don Dilego "Western & Atlantic"

(Velvet Elk) Way better than Don DeLillo's Vaughn Meader cover band he formed to promote Libra in '88. This singer-songwriter delivers the most Athens, GA-ish song about Chicago ever created.

Rosetta West "Underground Volume 1"

Should be called "Edward Slide Guitar-hands!" Damn, it's boogie-bluesy in here! With a chance of experimental haze!)
