Attack of the Zombie Soy Bot! #7

The majority of this issue was created in a comic zine style, there are two sections where Tom writes about the death of a friend and being monogamous. I enjoyed the comics that dealt with relationships, silly but realistic conversations with friends, interactions with family & dumpster diving.

I absolutely love the cover of this issue! Along with an awesome cover comes a fun twist for Attack of the Zombie Soy Bot readers. Ker-bloom writer, Artnoose, has drawn all of the comics in this issue except for two postcards that are drawn by Tom. It's a lively issue & I dig the collaboration.

This zine is a beautiful collaborative project by the Birdsong Micropress in Brooklyn, NY. Issue #14 is themed anew. I am fond of the thick covers portraying bird artwork, text heavy literary pieces, and the colorful art submissions. I love the mix of talent that makes up this issue of Birdsong.
Excerpt from Volcano by Max Steele, "Our eruptions and disasters. Despite these-- really, trust me-- we can't be beat. Set us up and watch us blow. Now and then we fail, and admit defeat."

comic tales: don't feel so hot
$4/28 pages/Half size
by D. Patrick
"Places that are magical with two become less enchanting when you're alone on a Snday afternoon."
That line alone would make the entire zine worth it for me - that is, if it wasn't already filled with fantastic stories accompanied by raw drawings that pull you into the author's story. This zine is packed full of stories from real life events. They contain recollections from childhood, walks down memory lane as well as instances that will leave the reader chuckling with empathy. Who doesn't have memories that seem average at first but end up being the ones that stand out the most? This zine is a collection of exactly those type of stories. The tidbits on observations are absolutely wonderful as well. My favorite was the one where the observation took place in the library! It made me want to take an even closer look at the people around me. I recommend this zine to anyone who enjoys comics and content related to true life.

comic tales: economy cookies
$4/32 pages/Half size
by D. Patrick
"30 years old & I'm drawing comics at the library! Should I be taking a child to swimming lessons or shopping at Rona?"
Another wonderful line that encompasses my introspection when looking at others from the outside in. This zine collection contains another set of often comical, but an entirely real point of view from the author's life. This volume contains observations of visiting a corner store with an interesting selection in reading material, an afternoon spent zine-making in the library, the legend of the economy cookies and so much more. The author brings about another array of memories (in the form of comics) to get lost in.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Janet's collection of 20 poems.
Janet, from Australia, seeks poems that work whether declaimed loudly or whispered in the mind. Below is a sneak peek of her poetry:
My mother said not
to put my identity in the dryer
but I did
and it came up
fluffy and gorgeous
...
I think the violence
and starvation
and the melting
are happening
because someone told me
and continues to tell me
I need a five-dollar toothbrush

This is the first issue of the queer history series comic, Homos in Herstory. Elvis covers gender non-conformity and homo relationships in the 19th century. Elvis also includes fun facts about Susan B. Anthony, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt and others!
When researching this zine, I was blown away by what seemed to be true; throughout the 19th century, it was totally ok to be a huge homo, if you were female-bodied. I wondered ... why isn't there a trace of this homo-positive feeling within the larger culture, in 2011.

This edition of Homos in Herstory is text heavy, full of awesome illustrations and is all about queer, female-bodied people in the 1970's. Elvis writes about The Lavender Menace, the political lesbian, queer women of color, & the 70s experimentation with nouns. There is also a bonus quiz: Which 1960s-1970s Lesbian Feminist Are You? (along with the detailed answer key!) and bibliography.
"Being a female-bodied gay person was still scandalous, but became more normalized in certain circles. Homophobia had racked the country since the 1920's, but in the 70's, prejudices were being broken openly and publicly challenged by gay people."

A love like ours is never.... decaffeinated.
from the Afterword: We hope you've enjoyed our Winter 2013 Issue, with its theme, On Love, New Beginnings, and the Creative Life. As we begin the new year, we thought it's be a perfect time to think about new beginnings, love (just in time for Valentine's Day), and the creative life-including the sacrifices necessary to live such a life and let our creativity grow. Living in Nebraska, we knew we'd be remiss if we didn't devote lots of beautiful words to winter and how much we love it, hate it, or are inspired by it (or not).

This is a beautiful compilation, perfectly bound, full of comics & poems. I was clearly touched by the way Ed's artwork and writing flowed in unison together. Ed describes this book as, " A collection of short cartoon stories from the past couple of years; some autobiographical, some fictional. The title refers to memento-mori and pretty things. Stories about a lonely paleontologist, two little girls who escape into the warm New Jersey night, my sculpture teacher, and other very important things."
What the people are saying:
"…Hardships in life [are] hard to conquer, yet they are eased into submission with the words and visuals of this book." – Gary Hornberger, Razorcake
"Moorman is definitely a talented writer, consistently interesting in each story… it whets the reader's appetite for what's to come next" – Sarah Morean, The Daily Crosshatch

$1/12 pages/Quarter size

This comic is small but extremely fulfilling. A stick figure tracks down God to understand the meaning of it all. He finds God, who has a great sense of humor, and finally reveals the truth.
