Thank you so much, it was a great jam!

That’s wild that you are also Polkaphobic. I have also never met anyone who understood my terror, I mean, what’s so scary about a towering, unblinking psychedelic bipedal llama entity!?

I’m really glad you enjoyed it and all the digressive details, mills! It’s hard to know what will connect with people, but seeing all the cool curated stuff pile up in your “memoirs” collection partially inspired me to try out more personal anecdotes!

Thank you big Ah, I really appreciate it!

True, although who knows what traces really win out in the end (whatever that means!)… Thank you for burrowing in! 

Good question… POOKA POWER

These are amazing and love the presentation/commentary! I have played live versions of something like idea 253 where you are forced to incorporate words or concepts into your automatic writing as people shout at you. It’s a great surrealist game to play, albeit stressful! 

Hell yea~ I staved off the ROT and all I got was this fragmentary worldview!

Wow, that's poetic placement and/or black humour max out. How do people get such ingenious ideas???

Great zine! It’s pretty wild how Wigglypaint broke containment. The pirate world operates on a totally alien, self-serving logic compared to the open indie  ecosystem. Some valuable warnings here, I don’t know what the answer could be, but I take solace in the fact that if anyone digs deep enough they can find the real story (and now, this handsome zine!)

hypno pop nostalgia placemat overload! wonderful

Thank you for releasing it! I love your style!

Wow the storytelling here is incredible, I did not expect that to get as scary as it did (shoulda known!)

So glad you liked it! And that’s amazing thank you for distributing this meta-vandalism!

Ah thank you so much!!

Une Twine/enquête intéressante. Ça donne à réfléchir! Quand l'art et la propriété intellectuelle disparaissent, comment appelle-t-on ce résidu visqueux? 

This was tremendous, and the subtle deployment of Téléfrançais content alongside deeply retrospective personal meditation sent me down a hauntological k-hole!

This is one of the most visually disconcerting issues yet. The Birth of the Magician is a blood red memento mori tapestry or perhaps a “dance of death” accompanied by the deranged exhortations of an occult minister of some sort or another. It certainly feels like being yelled at!

This month’s Romonde has something appropriately Chaucerian about it (it is April after all), almost satirical, and populated with strange archetypes and folk figures like SADMAN, Grey Caleb, the NEWSPOPER, etc. The coffin ship! Isn’t that some medieval Dutch allegory somewhere? It oughtta be.

In WHAT THE DEMON FOUND IN THE SCIENTIST’S we finally find out the proverbial “what the butler saw” but in this case, what the MACROSCOPE saw. Blakean premonitions with Newtonian teasers, this is the quieter piece of the issue, which says something because it ends with a huge bomb going off.

I was also stoked to see the primordial stirrings of a nascent Shelleyan cartoonism (however microscopic or alien!) in the final lonesome image. Much as if a New York Times cartoon caption contest was run by a cabal of deranged alchemists (moreso).

WELL SCREAMED SHEM, WELL SCREAMED

yes bring your wellington boots!

Loved this dentine font. Perfect for all my nocturnal forensic needs. I just used it in this project!

Wonderful!

A dual oulipian devastation

Wow that was quick and fantastic! The world's first auto-dissolving documentary leaves a frightening aftertaste.

Raise a glass to comradeship in sludge!!!

Breathtaking metagothic point and click. A mnemonic oubliette opens up beneath your feet in the bestseller section. A new high point int he obscure world of visceracrticism!

The design of this, and the pacing, works incredibly well. I love the disconnect between the threatening Melancholia-style planet in the vast ocean of stars with the claustrophobic elevator horror.

Cuts right to the bone. Solidarity and love through the Valley of the Wind!

barf gang!!

(seriously i don’t know anything but i love that term thank you!)

Ohhh that’s a nice one! Equally applicable to many people, from the ethically ambiguous to the proto-lycanthrope. 

Very true! Misunderstanding is the best medicine!

(That reminds me, someone around here was actually drawing butts everywhere, it was weirdly effective)

SEE YOU IN 🐒

Haha we disagree on Neuromancer but agree on Wild Palms - I'll take it! Neuromancer is a little  obscure and dense and hard to read, he was still kind of a clunky writer at that point, so I get why it may not be everyone's cup of tea. He's more fully formed by Pattern Recognition,  but even then he's an acquired taste and I could see why it might be annoying to some. He was actually hugely influenced by Burroughs, to the point where he had to completely negate his style to avoid slavishly imitating him. I think of his writing sometimes as "Burroughs by other means"

It TURNS OUT the never-ending cyclical revenge tale of Romonde Contreras can be summed up in the motto "Nothing Moves, Yet Eternities Tremble"... Something I would like to see emblazoned upon an honorary coat of arms for this our SICK SAD KNIGHT of the ages. We learn this issue that we are all children of Abracadabraham, the channel surfing patri-anarch, and that this perpetual channel surfing is dialectically generating a new kind of moistened gnosticism. Heady stuff, but OF KEY IMPORTANCE!

This is followed by another exciting episode of the ANTI ASTHMATIC COOKING channel… Arguably the most therapeutic experience on the Internet. It performs simultaneously the function of purgation, meditation, and the medieval concept of a “memento mori”... Although in this case, it’s more like a “memento choppo”... In an ordinary cooking view, we identify with the hands. After getting Shem’s ANTI-ASMR treatment, we are suddenly forced through the largo tempo and extreme concentration to identify with the VICTIM VEGETABLE, aka the Object to be Chopped (in Kantian lingo). A most disconcerting reversal.

It was at this moment that I found out much to my dismay that I was compromised in my career through explicit association in the CREEPSTEIN FILES. The fifteenth asterisk on page 9 is clearly referring to my person. AH WELL. As Shem saith, "Put cola in the IV tube of dying rats" and move on. I must say I greatly appreciate Shem’s untimely anti-news, and especially his patent-pending occult art of SYMPATHETIC UNREDACTION… Seemingly a chaotic gibberish of upsets, but in actuality, working its way through the news cycle IN REVERSE like some maddened Burroughsian virus. We we expect great things. WE LEARN HOW THE NIGHT MOVES.

The final segment on MAL.ISM is a hyperattractant. The association with the techno-loa is actually reminiscent of the plot of Gibson’s Count Zero. The difference being that here we get some highly specific technical acronyms, and a much more conclusive global consequence, which is about damn time if you ask me. We should especially not rush over the gaze of that beautiful fragmentary VISAGE, the face of something perturbing in the code.

VOTE SHEM SHELLEY FOR ACCELERANT BAILIFF, NOW

Thank you so much Oxy!

Hell yes!!! Thank you for bringing Decker into the physical world, let a thousand ditherzines bloom

Another happy graduate!

Gorgeous scrapbook diary jumble--perfect format for this kind of adolescent haze!

Thanks so much!! Yes it’s this one, great read if you like obscure Canadian tax shelter film lore
