Description EDIT: This zine is on sale for $1, which includes postage and shipping!

I'm a librarian at Papercut Zine Library. Close to Christmas, they had a one-page zine party. Well, I've always been better at comics than zines, and the two intersect massively, so I did a one-page comic. It was just for fun, but it turned out to be unexpectedly popular among the other librarians!

I plan to do a similar one for our system roster shifts.

--Rogan

EDIT 2: Holy shit, this has been popular. Just so you guys know, I got the basic concept of the idea from Erika Moen, who did a sexual orientation version here.

This actually inspired us to make something similar... (only we probably won't since we hardly ever find the time to actually put ideas into action and we take such a long time doing even "small" things) It feels good to be inspired, though!

Is there a trick to fold it so it becomes a little booklet or something?
And do you also ship to germany? Or trade zines? You can see ours here (will put up the rest of the pages as soon as possible): [link]

Yup! It's not apparent from how we had to put it up online, but on paper, due to the amazing power of origami and a bit of scissors it's a nice little booklet about as big as a credit card.

We do indeed ship to Germany, but we do have to tack on a shipping charge because of the cost. If you want some of our stuff (a list of what we sell is here ) we're more than happy to ship it to you! (I'm afraid that right now, we're not in the zine trading game at the moment, sorry. We need the money too bad, even the buck or two we get off zine sales.)

Yeah lol I don't mind dressing up once in a while, I even have a selection of dresses that make me look great But my mom has this theory that I'm a pretty little girls who loves long hair and the color pink. She's been trying to stuff me into fluffy dresses since I was a baby. And I've made it clear since I've been able to talk that I don't like it.

BaaingTree In reply to Nyx-n-Nut [2011-01-17 02:13:48 +0000 UTC]

Heh, I'd imagine! It's one thing to choose to dress one way, and another to have it forced on you.

And hey, noticed you faved this comic. We're selling it for $1, if you want a little comic book of your own.

Yup. >.< It's been driving me insane since I was little. Of course when I turned about 14 it started to be me having quite the hissy-fit. My mom just couldn't get it. (still doesn't..."why are you wearing boys pants?! Give them to your brother!")

lol I'd love to buy it, but I don't have a debit/credit card at my dispense (probably a good thing). Besides...I have to be good about saving. College will be the death of me. I don't get it. They insist on you getting more and more education, yet they jack up the prices of it so that it's harder for you to get it. Then they complain about all the people who don't do well.

Yeah, I'm kinda glad to be out of school for the interim. Say what you want about working, I get money given to me for doing dull stuff, instead of paying for the privilege!

True...yeah I've got to look into other options...I'm going to school for art (not that I've posted much of my good stuff here). I want to learn what I can so that I grow better, because I have no idea what I want to do with it. (other than sell it) Actually, I don't understand why I'm in college. It's not like I'm doing anything that requires college education. I'm not going to be a teacher. But I am being pushed into it...I guess I'm still not used to being on my own yet...I'm only a freshman after all.

Terribly familiar.
Might do one for ourselves actually - if you don't mind.
Looks like this might turn into a meme.

Sure, though for the record, I got the idea originally from Erika Moen's DAR strip here.

This is AWESOME.. and very similar to my story. Similar timeline and everything.. except I was 16 in 1999 (late bloomer), and in 2002, I went back to being hyper-feminine for years.. destroyed myself in the process, and by 2006, yeah, I was a mess, hit rock bottom, and in 2007, I began my transition..
And now.. I'm me

You inspired me to make one of my own.. would you mind if I used this idea?

Ah, gotcha. And yup, I'm trans. The kids are both off the gender binary, but only me and maybe Sneak ID trans.

*nods*
all I meant was that at least one of you identifies as trans. not all of you.
I'm trans, but the other three are cisgendered. Well, the toddler is debatable.. but the other two are definitely cis. And straight.

Nice to meet both of you.

Nothing wrong with that. Relatively similar to my system..
Two guys (one trans & gay, one cis & straight), a 16 year old over-sexed girly-girl, and a toddler. I say he's 3, but he insists that he's "free an a haf!".

Sneak: Roald Dahl is AMAZO. I heart him.

Rogan: Yeah, he remains in our top three writers list. He was an anti-Semitic old coot, but at least he kept it out of his kids' literature, from what I could see.

demonic-chick43 In reply to BaaingTree [2011-01-16 05:56:19 +0000 UTC]

Top three writers for me: Douglas Adams, Roald Dahl, Darren Shan. If there was room for a number four, it'd be Amelia Atwater-rhodes.
