Coming to you from Toronto, Canada since 1995, Broken Pencil is a magazine devoted exclusively to underground culture and the independent arts. A mix of the Utne Reader, an underground Reader’s Digest, and Factsheet5, Broken Pencil reviews the best zines, books, websites, videos, and artworks from the underground and reprints favorite articles from the alternative press. Also, ground breaking interviews, original fiction, and commentary on all aspects of the independent arts. From the hilarious to the perverse, Broken Pencil challenges conformity and demands attention.

In this issue: Zine Moms Change the World One Nap at a Time, Feral Teddy Bears, and When Bands Divorce!
