Orange Zines

Issue 08 of Substrate is here. Rejoice! Access the digital version here:

This zine was done by Jen Wolfe (former bassist for Bunnygrunt and I think she had been in some other bands as well). I think she published 5 issues (I have them all except #1), and all were most excellent. 

It was a great, pocket-sized zine that was primarily interviews with bands, comics, and a big section where readers would send in a paragraph or two (sometimes longer) of their biggest fear(s) (I contributed to #4). 

In the interviews, Jen seems split down the middle between indie rock/pop and riot grrrl and of course she asks the bands what their greatest fears are so all very interesting reading, 

I always looked forward to this mag, and it was a fave of mine back in those roaring 90's (and if anyone has an extra copy of #1 please let me know). I'll review some other issues down the line.

I made a zine! :D The title is based off a shitty acoustic guitar + cellphone recording app album that I wrote when I was 18 (I can link that at the end of the post :3) I've been really hyper fixating on zines lately, and with everything going on in the world lately it has been incredibly therapeutic for me to make these and process my feelings through poetry + collage. I know my formatting isn't the best, I'm not formally trained in graphic (or physical) design, but with each zine that I make, I'm getting more and more practice and I hope to eventually improve! I'm aiming for a goal of making one zine a month :) Also I will link the printable PDF at the end of the post as well, but beware! I am not great at formatting yet and if you want to print it unfortunately some of the front cover will be cut off, (as it already is in the image smh...) If anyone has any tips for formatting or digitizing physical zines, that would be greatly appreciated! Anyways, thank you for reading and I hope my art made you feel something <3

TIME FOR RAT LORE

RAT LORE SITE IS LIVE

This SHOULD have been posted when it went live on May 30th, the date of Rat Lore Con 2026, but I've had the most mad dash weeks since then of pain, projects, a fest, & more!

So WHAT is Rat Lore & how does it relate to anything again?? Well, it's a dubious Lore & project web that deals with Rat Lores featuring centrally some familiar Rats that have already appeared in Mythoslain (Veracity Rat & Mendacity Rat) as companions of one Xidobo Ktikov. Rat Lore originally came to be very early on in Mythoslain's legitimate lifespan/development, just over a month into pre-planning for what it would become now. They were conceptualized as a side bit that oh so rapidly became a fixture of the comic when they slotted in so beautifully with Xidobo's whole deal (which is also elaborated on in connection with the Rats in a dedicated zine about them).

BUT WHAT IS THE RAT LORE SITE? The Rat Lore site is simply another platform to house all the assorted Rat Antics including all the zines I've made about them from specific Lores & origins to my Quiet Year hack accidentally designed at my bday party in January & the first issue in a series of educational zines w/ comics about literary theory concepts. Those last two are completely free to read/download on the site! You can also read each of the three Rat intro zines free too on their dossier page, but it's a mess I need to fix as of the time of posting.
