Hi everyone,

I just got Café Romántica, a recopilation of Megg Mogg and Owl fanzines and short stories in its Spanish version (Not sure if it has the same title in other countries).

The thing is that I was reading a strip called “Legal” in which the gang goes to another state to get legal weed. When they come into the shop and talk to the cashier there’s this pun about CBD translated as Culo Brasileño Depilado; literally Shaved Brazilian Ass in Spanish, and I was curious about the original joke in English.

Does anyone that have the original version or the fanzine could illustrate me?

Why is the Kurtzman/comic book run of (Tales Calculated to Drive You) MAD, the first 23 issues, seemingly perpetually out of print and so hard to aquire in a nice--or indeed any--edition?

Sure their cultural context is dated, but after a couple decades I still remember them as some of the most impactful comics I've ever read. Is there that little demand for it? Some rights issue? Anyone have any insight?

Hey guys,

If you are an indie comic writer/artist and think your love-child project could use a bit of spotlight, it was probably you we had in mind when we created the Not Saved digital zine!

Not Saved is a monthly zine where we strive to highlight indie creations across geek and pop culture: games, comics, music, art, merch, and much more. Our first issue is out, and the next one is on the way. We’d love for you to check it out, discover some cool projects, and maybe even find something inspiring. 

If you’re a creator yourself, feel free to reach out using the contact form on the bottom of the site. For projects that are going to be on Kickstarter, please reach out to us before their launch. 

The Not Saved zine presents all things geek, as long as they are indie! Feel free to spread the word to other people and communities that create or appreciate indie projects made with love and care!

I discovered this book by looking at the graphic novel section at my library and "The Clitoris" stuck out to me 😂 I opened it and saw it was weird as fuck and featured poppies so it was right up my alley and I loved it.

In the description of the book it says it's a "feminist punk" book and I'm struggling to see how...? I like feminism and punk but I don't see it.

Is it because the author is from a feminist punk background? Or is there a deeper meaning? Thanks y'all

P.s. if you like weird trippy books, id highly recommend. I finished it in about 30 mins in the library, it's an easy read

What 80's and 90's and generally later R. Crumb Comics do you like?

I recently have been trying to track down comics set in/around or about the 90's and early 2000's rave and club culture, along the lines of movies like 'Go', '24 Hour Party People' and even 'Trainspotting' to an extent. And I can't find anything (the only result to come up is 'Rave' by Jessica Campbell which doesn't fit the bill)

I recently picked up the book 'Rave Art' which is a collection of flyers from this era and the design and artwork on these is incredible, I really figured this paired with the 90's indie comics book that there'd be countless titles coming out of publishers like Fantagraphics, Image or Vertigo but I really can't find a thing.
