Not Your Mother's Meatloaf is doing an all-call for zine submissions on the theme of Endings - due January February 1st!

Make sure to check out their past issues at the Sex Ed Comic Blog.
Drawing on the inspiration of doing the Meet Me at the Race Riot zine event, I decided to teach everyone in the world how to make a micro-mini zine - otherwise known as a 16-page mini booklet made out of one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Enjoy!
And do check out more of my zining experiences on my blog, The Cowation.
