Catalog / Fifth Grade

Fifth Grade 44 pages, 1/4 size, copied (2 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Years after the bulk of Ben's possessions were destroyed in a fire, he came across his fifth grade yearbook in mom's attic. This discovery stirred up old memories which are presented in this zine. He recreates photos from the yearbook photos by hand with line drawings. Most are accompanied by words. Some are short captions: "One day at recess, while playing soccer, he kicked my arm and broke it," or "His trial had the town enthralled for months." Others are lengthier anecdotes about friends, girls, and other classmates, including random events and how things began or ended. Makes me want to flip through my old yearbook to see what I can remember about the people I've forgotten.

The format of this zine may remind some of Applicant, but it's definitely it's own creature.
