At the end of this zine, there is an appeal by Roxy for information. She is looking for advice concerning a worthy organization to receive her scarf collection. It seems she’s a bit of a “crochet addict.” This piece of information pretty sums up Scuttlebutt – a zine done by a kind hearted crocheting teen. It’s not a bad zine, but it is an earnest one – bits on why you should give blood, inspiring quotes and “Roxy’s lover cleansing ritual” (I kid you not.) There is also a short story by Nica Corgan, in which one Emmy Storm must take back her life after a tragedy involving Squeegee Boy derails their fantasy future. (HN)
