some comforts




SOME COMFORTS
it's a zine we're making a zine y'all
[magazine, a DIY publication]

how do you cope when things are tough? this is a CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS inviting you to consider and share your coping strategies, big and small. What helps you get through?


The zine should be pretty nice, I'm hoping to do a chunky boy with a nice risograph cover. I haven't decided on scale yet so I'll worry about that part, not you.

Compensation will be a copy of the zine that I'll mail to you (expensively, from the Netherlands) or a digital copy if you'd rather.

Your submission: Typed thoughts on comfort, comics, pictures, hand-scrawled pondering, ephemera, anything you can think of. Ultimately this is a show-and-tell so that readers can use our ideas to think more about ways they can build comfort into chaos. Make a list? Draw a picture? Explain your reasoning? Or explain nothing! In some ways this is a public brainstorm, and the rules of a brainstorm apply: No wrong answers!
