Chinky Vision

No, I'm not being politically incorrect. That's the name of a zine created by one of the student assistants where I work. She's a shy young Asian woman who loves to swing dance, hates articokes, and writes, illustrates, and prints a cool little zine called Chinky Vision. In it, she talks about her likes and dislikes, shares news about her life, and draws comics of her coworkers. She's a person of few words in a conversation but many when she takes a pen in hand.

If you're unfamiliar with the world of zines, go to your nearest university library and see if they collect them. They usually cover politics, culture, feminism, or the arts. Some are just funny. Some extremely edgy. Many are created by college kids; some by aging hippies. Be prepared to spend an hour or ten looking at them because they're addictive.
