A review of "Carrots and Condoms" by Dan Murphy

[View Blog]

Here's a short, sweet review of the first two issues of my zine by Dan Murphy, who writes The Juniper, posted on his blog The Juniper Bends As If It Were Listening.

"Coco Negro from Sacramento, CA makes an awesome zine called Carrots & Condoms. It's a very well-written zine with some great illustrations accompanying the writing. She has two issues out. The first issue deals with the dichotomy of life in the city versus life in the country (something I can really relate with). It also tells of Coco's adventures working on a homestead, learning about permaculture and finding community (both urban and rural).
The second issue is much more personal and introspective. It's a much more melancholy read because it deals with her sister's mental illness and growing up with an abusive father. Coco's words are honest and brave and warrant great admiration. "

Thanks, Dan!
