30 Minute Stories

$3.00
24 pages/Half size
By Jon Hallman & hopskotch SunDAY


Jon Hallman (Stumptown Underground) and hopskotch SunDAY (Have At Thee!!) collaborate on this versatile collection of short stories, written and illustrated in thirty minutes, respectively. The story plots range from surreal to conversational to smutty, and the illustrations are some of hopskotch’s best. It’s amazing what can be created in a half hour, and inspires the reader to think about what she can accomplish in the same amount of time.

“I shall answer for you one question.”


…

“So you’ll answer any question I ask about anything?”

“Yes.” replied Melba and hopped away.

“I started this zine to make my friends laugh.”

This BEST OF issue is packed full of the BEST comics and nonfiction stories from the deep, depths of all twelve issues of Zombie Soy Bot! It is an awesome collection of the author’s funny adventures in music, traveling, friendships, skateboarding, eating way too many bananas, attempting to try out “party week” and lots more. Don’t worry its not all satire and humor, it is sprinkled with life affirming reflections and thoughts on living happily.

Fairy Tales for Cynical Girls
Volume 1

by K8

I wish my scanner would have picked up the delicious hot pink color that this zine actually is printed on! The tale in this zine is so cringeworthy and good! It's a twist on The Little Mermaid. This mini is packed with revenge, cruelty, and sadness.

The man she'd given everything for - 
her shape
her tongue
her soulless life
- slept unaware
He owed her his life.

Fairy Tales for Cynical Girls
Volume 2

by K8

Oh, K8! You've got a hold on me with these mini stories. Sleeping Beauty is the feature of this tale and, oh, she doesn't want to be. Poor girl just wants some rest, but instead, she wanders wearily in an unforgiving world.

Blessed with the temperament of an angel, she utters not a word of complaint, even taking the hateful children into her arms and rocking them to sleep. 

(they, at least, can sleep)

K8 has penned a piece about Rapunzel but with a twist, of course! It involves the pleasing of the husband and the love and protection of the children. And the pressure of it all ...

"You must be kinder to the children," the prince says over and over again.

22 pages/Half size (bonus mini zine!)
by Rita Tortorello


There is so much to enjoy in this zine. The layout is beautiful, the detail knots in the binding, and the whimsical stories written by Rita. May Baskets and Spring Flowers, Stories to be Carried, The Spider and A Conversation With The Moon are all lovely tales around nature, nostalgia & getting lost in imagination. This zine also contains a bonus mini called Reading to the Faeries. 


The song began once more. Notes woven in the air like threads of a silky web, which seemed to caress one and to hint of mysteries revealed beyond human comprehension. - The Spider

The Man in the Fedora

a 24-hour comic

24 pages/Quarter size
by hopskotch SunDAY

The inspiration for this comic stems from hopskotch's experience with an abusive step-dad. It's the story of a family, the dad is an abuser and the son attempts to protect his mother. Then, the man in the fedora appears to save the mom & kids! The man allows the mom to go back in time to her younger self. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll stop there. It's a great comic with an equally great message.

The Politics Issue
$2.00
20 pages/Half size
by Benjamin Chapman


Ah, political satire. Just what I needed to read while trying to stay afloat in this political circus America calls the presidential election. 

This flash fiction zine contains the following pieces "How I Won the Iowa Caucus" and "The Torture Chamber." My personal favorite was "How I Won ...," we have a political candidate who prides himself in leaving dumps and such on the doorsteps of Iowa's residents and the wild press coverage he receives. 


TIP: This is an adult read, sorry kiddies.
