Weird drawings for weird people. Mike Taylor of Scenery has compiled a bunch of his drawings into a zine where every single page is screen-printed, in alternating pink and black ink. There's not a ton of text, but it's arty. For fans of Lightning Bolt and USA is a Monster.
Great drawings and stories from Mike (Drinking Sweat in the Ash Age) in the vein of Cometbus or other literary works. His writings are sincere and heartfelt and make you feel warm inside because you can relate to them. #14 is a comic interpretation of a friend's thesis deconstructing the "house show" punk culture in Gainesville, FL. An utterly fascinating sociological study with great line work, it explains how punks relate to gentrification, art, culture, and life.
Mike's (Drinking Sweat in the Ash Age) zine reads like a collection of anecdotes; wonderfully amusing. It makes me sit and smirk while I reread each paragraph a few times. His writings are sincere and heartfelt and make you feel warm inside because you can relate to them. There are also comics from contributors and a series of updates from a friend visiting Nepal. The cover is a 3 color screenprint on nice paper stock that "looks like an ocean pacific shirt". This is the kind of zine that seems so good it's almost like a historical document & you need to keep a box with every back issue tucked away in your basement somewhere. Listen to me, I sound like a fuckin' college art snob appreciator.

This is a placeholder, like the number zero. Scenery 20 is coming soon and I'm stoked! It's probably full of pontification and comics. hell yes.
