I gotta admit, I’m a sucker for good packaging, and this little number called out to me with its full colour cover replete with an angry yelling cowboy. And I love little zines, quarter-page sized, perfect for fitting in your pocket and pulling out for a quick read on the bus. So I didn’t heed the warning on first page where Nicole admits this zine is shitty, disappointing, and not very pretty. Come on Nicole, you’re just being modest, I thought. Nope, she was right. Though there are some funny cartoons, and the step by step guide to going broke is good reading, I agree with Nicole, this zine is decidedly meh. (Krisztina Kun)
