Dr. Danny Swank replied to Weepy Gonzales's discussion What is the most exciting/depressing/life-changing thing you have ever recieved in the mail?"Oh man, do you remember (Husker Du?) nine or ten years ago during that anthrax scare? Where every single person thought it was hilarious to include a tablespoon or so of flour in every letter they sent? 'Cause it was supposed to look like…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Josh Vidal's discussion Anybody in the East Bay?"I grew up in Chicago, but spent my formative years in the bay area before moving to the doom town that is Portland, Oregon. (I love it, but come on, there is no future here! It's a suburb of nowhere pretending to be city.)
Check out City…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Jillian McGrath's discussion Favorite books?"A book a day keeps the doctor away, unless that doctor happens to be an optometrist.
Seriously, the reason I love zines is because they offer a look into the lives of others, but those tiny glimpses pale in comparison to a good history book or a…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Jillian McGrath's discussion Favorite books?"The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is, quite simply, the greatest book that no one has ever heard of. And the story behind it is even better. Written by a famous Russian playwright during the unpleasant Stalin years, it was only available…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Emma Jane Falconer's discussion Getting feedback"I've been doing the zine thing for half of my life and in all of that time I've only once received any feedback at all. Reviews? Sure, there've been a few. Praise (and condemnation) from people I know or have traded with? Yeah,…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Publicity - how to do it?"Man, oh man, the zine thing is a topsy-turvy, higgledy-piggledy beast, to say the least. I started doing zines about fifteen years ago (yes, I'm an old man) and really kicked it up a notch about two years ago, putting out ten or fifteen…"
Sky Cosby left a comment for Dr. Danny Swank"Hello Dr. Swank, we met a couple years ago at the Portland Zine Symposium. I was hoping I could acquire more copies of your Menckeniana zine? Please get back to me as soon as possible, at earthlightbooks@gmail.com
thanks!"

Tina Armstrong left a comment for Dr. Danny Swank"Picked up Cranky Buddha and Tales from the Bus at the Portland Zine Symposium...was also tabling there for The F-Bomb. LOVED your stuff. Actually kept me interested! If you wanna trade anything, let me know. I'm always down for that. :)"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to NicoleIntrovert's discussion Compilation Zine for International Zine Month"Hello!!
I thought this to be one of the greatest compilation ideas I'd heard of in recent times and so I sent in a contribution. If my bit makes the grade and has been included (it doesn't really matter to me; I know my story already!),…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Denise's discussion how do you market/advertise/dissiminate your zines?"I have to say, this site has been a boon as far as receiving fresh new reading material from people I never would have encountered otherwise. Trading zines has never been so simple!! I believe this to be a fine and fancy site, something I can drop…"
Dr. Danny Swank replied to Tina's discussion Why do you make zines?"THIS is why I write zines:
4 November 2008
Waiting at the curb in a torrential downpour I hoped that the bus would be on time, or at least fairly empty. It was neither. Soaked to the bone by the time I boarded I was stuck clinging to a handrail at…"

I finally stopped slacking off and dropped off a fat package of zines and comics for you in the mail today. It usually takes about a week for things to get to America from Japan. Hope you enjoy mine half as much as I enjoyed yours.
