Patches, who apparently is actually Nathan’s cat, is the star of this zine. All the standard woes of being a cat are played out by this boy/cat — you know like his 7″ doesn’t make it into record stores, the cat of his dreams proves to be more sophisticated than he is, and he has nightmares. We feel for Patches. Along with Patches there’s a retrospective of photos depicting Nathan’s choices of Halloween costumes over the years (he was a Hobo a lot… what does this mean?) and handy, helpful step by step instructions on how to make a mobile and reuse stamps. Milan makes some text contributions, as does Rachel, with subjects varying from Noam Chomsky to Egyptian religion.
