Celina replied to Josh Blair's discussion Mini-comics are not zines. Discuss."I love this comment, and I agree with you. I don't know much about the early zine fest attending, but it doesn't surprise me that mini-comics didn't quite fit in until recently. Whenever I've explained zines and mini-comics and…"

Jimmy said… - Let me know if you do move back!
my son is 16 and I get big street cred for being the zine making Dad...LOL
Right now we're the only game in town except for the skate boarding zine Dead Ramones. but I think we've spurred some others to pop up. Lots of good things happening music and art-wise in town and it makes the zine that much more fun to make.

- Hey Josh!
My son actually goes to Beechwood! I'm trying to instill a little zine culture to the N KY and Cinci area...so far it's doing pretty good! you can download pdf versions of them on our ning site at hellinahandbasket.ning.com

- Hey Josh,
I got your comics in the mail today (friday) and I will drop a package full of comics off on Monday. Its already Saturday here in Japan so the post office is closed. Curse that privatized postal system!!! Thanks again for the trade.
