My mom has this friend, Barry. He lives in Minnesota with his wife, Tammy, and their son, Zeb. He's a schoolteacher and an artist. They live on a huge farm and are total hippies. Tammy has super-cool, long dread locks and Barry, an ex-marine, is now a veteran for peace. Anyway, he's always done his own comic-style drawings on all types of greeting cards and correspondence to my mother and I have always been a big fan of them. A couple of years ago he started a zine comprised of those great drawings and some true stories from his own life. My mom just sent me all four issues and I read them all back-to-back a few days ago. They are hilarious! I laughed out loud several times (and cried a bit too). I loved them so much. They are fabulous. Please, please, please check them out. (The zine also received a great review in Utne magazine last spring!)
