Biff #1 32 pages, 1/2 size, copied (2 oz) $2.00

"The magazine for kids and their parents", created by a father and daughter team that is stealing many hearts in Portland. You may remember them from "$100 & A T-Shirt" as the wise 9 year old and her stapling dad, who named the zine after a deceased family dog.

Writing together we hear both of their voices echoing loud and clear, sharp with personality. Somewhere between Highlights, Dishwasher, and Mother Jones, we hear about some local neighbors who collect things, baseball curses, a woman who owns a hat shop, guesses as to the early history of their house, the "Black Peppercorns" (very young PDX rockers), and more. Always a treat.

Writing together we hear both of their voices echoing loud and clear, sharp with personality. Somewhere between Highlights, Dishwasher, and Mother Jones, we hear about metal detecting, a letter to President Bush, how 5 travellers spent their vacations, going out on the ocean, singing Jack Russell terriers, and more. Always a treat.

Biff #5: The last Issue Ever! 30 pages, b&w, 1/2 size (2 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Sadly, I announce that Biff #5 is the last Biff ever!!! Allie and her dad started Biff when Allie was 8 years old, but now four years later, Allie states she's ready for something new. She wants more time to work on her writing club, her garden, and to raise her baby chicks. But before it's all said and done, here's one more great issue of Biff, this time focused on religion. There are interviews with a tweenaged atheist, and a trip to a bat mitzvah, visits to 4 different evangelical churches. There are also two different stories that serve as obituaries, one about the reporter Ryszard Kapuscinski, and another for Bill Donahue's uncle, William Joseph Donahue. This issue is eclectic and sweet, and it is truly a shame to see Biff go.

 
Hey Allie! It's Isabelle! I didn't know Biff had a website! Please bring it back! Isabelle
