After making the previous comic that details the art and science of screenprinting, John was compelled to make a comic about his experience of street vending the shirts he printed! A good companion zine, especially for those who want a good story or have an interest in street vending in Berkeley. You get to see his day to day with thieves, endless casual conversations, and promises from potential customers to come back later. I felt like I was present!
