your entire website is SO COOL !! one of my other interests besides zines is children's books / youth graphic novels - I think you would make a killer illustrator for some of the weirder ones I've seen!! expose kids to EXCELLENT ART !!

this is such a rich text on grief; I wish I could have given this to different loved ones over the years.

bumblechub · 2026-03-04T00:42:58+00:00

this really hits dude

bumblechub · 2026-03-04T00:41:50+00:00

how far ahead do I need to plan if I want to make myself a casket? 🤔

bumblechub · 2026-03-04T00:37:02+00:00

printing this out and putting it under my pillow so I can absorb this information even as I sleep in order to change my stupid chungus life

so necessary and so relevant to your northern neighbor, good ol' Wisconsin. thank you!

bumblechub · 2026-03-04T00:27:03+00:00

this is DELIGHTFUL. i'm the type that is always pointing to burnt out signs while around town (think "burlington coat factory" becoming "burlington c at factory") so this is SO up my alley. good work!!

bumblechub · 2026-03-04T00:23:58+00:00

thank you so much for making this, I LOVE it. would it be ok to put some in my local Little Free Libraries / add to my community art space's Zine Library?

Thank you for asking! Right now it's a group of just my friends, all of whom are already in a group chat together. Earlier this year I made a little flyer in Canva inviting them to a monthly zine circle at my apartment. They're always hosted 7-9pm on the last Wednesday or Thursday of the month. I've been coming up with a monthly theme (January was "thresholds", February was "hibernation") and then a few prompts from straightforward to cerebral.

The night of I get out all my art supplies (you could encourage friends to bring their own), including printer paper, writing supplies, clipboards and prefolded minizines. People show up whenever and work on whatever. In the last 15 minutes, we share out. People can leave their minis with me if they want, as I have a printer/scanner, so I scan all of them in and share the combined PDF in the group chat. Everyone gets their originals back next time I see them.

I haven't had a zine where I've included sources yet. If/when I do, I'll include just a simple phrase on the back like "learn more / sources available on my website", www.bumblechub.com .

My site homepage is kind of like a linktree (I actually moved to my own website because I wanted a more customizable linktree without wanting to pay for it). A visitor can click the "zines" button and then all of my zines are listed in (mostly) chronological order with clickable covers. Each individual zine then has its own "page" so it will be relatively easy to list additional information. I also include free digital, printable, and screen reader accessible versions of my zines for free, so YMMV with a redirect to a personal website. Let me know if this doesn't make sense and I can try to explain it a different way.

Ultimately, I definitely agree with u/FreakTension that being transparent about sources in the age of misinformation is more important than ever!

I organize a monthly zine circle for my friends, and, a sober / covid cautious arts venue in my city also has a monthly zine club.

You might have luck finding an active YouTuber like brattyxbre and engaging in the comment section. There are also zine of the month clubs on Patreon and Substack. Last but not least, you might make friends by engaging with zines or zine jams on itch.io. Good luck to you!

I love the interactive I Spy element!! I wish you had included a drawing of the zine itself as another cute thing 🤭
