Closing in on 42 and still doing it

Someone saw my recently-added page here and said, "Nick, I can't believe you're still doing this stuff." I took it as a compliment.

Lunchy Duh Elf-Bo! childhood zine

writing I added on back reads:

"When I was about 11 or 12 yeas old me and two mates put together this zine. It doesn't really follow any narrative and there is an obsession with the number 69, but it is quite an amusing read. There are a lot of references to our warped Kiwi childhood and the… Continue
