Mail Call: Gazer by Carla McRae

Posted on October 20, 2014 | Leave a comment

I received my first issue from the Minicomic of the Month Club, direct from Australia’s Smaller Comics. Man, there’s a lot of good stuff coming out of Australia! This one is by Carla McRae. It’s a silent comic about, I think, a tender romance between a girl and a sasquatch. Very lovely.

From the Collection

Special order from Gutter Pop Comics! Thanks, Stephen!

Hi Neighbor! Author unknown. (I can’t read the signature, but the first name begins with a K and ends with a Y.) #minicomic

Two issues of Jumbly Junkery by L. Nichols (2008). A collection of short autobio stories. Read his memoir, Flocks! #minicomic

These are all my Anuj Shrestha minis/zines (2008-2015). They feel strangely appropriate these pays. I have a duplicate of Hydra if anyone wants to trade. #minicomic

Barefootz Funnies 3 by Howard Cruse (1979). I’m working with a group of Howard’s friends to put on a memorial event in NYC on March 28. Google “Howard Cruse Memorial” and you’ll find the info.

Bitter Pie 1 by Tena (1998). One of the first minicomics I owned. It came with a Not Your Bitch bumper sticker, which I put on the 1985 Chevy Celebrity I bought in college (for $700, at gas station). Somehow that car survived a road trip from Savannah, Georgia to Anchorage, Alaska. A trip I made alone, with only a hammer for for protection, like Luba in Love and Rockets—god, what was I thinking? I couldn’t even afford the gas for that trip today. #minicomic

These were in the free pile at work. Who reads indie comics at Macmillan? I must find them! No one at First Second is fessing up.

Forever and Everything! 3 by Kyle Bravo (2018). Short autobio pieces about a young family in New Orleans. #minicomic

All my Max Coltfelter minis, from 2003 to 2019. Looking at his art, it makes sense that he and Chris Wright were buddies in college. I think they were both poked by the same radioactive nib and got super powers! #minicomic

Play borough bingo! Scavenger Hunt for Central Park by Kjersti Faret and 20 Objects in Ridgewood by Yao Xiao. #minicomic

Ginseng Roots 1 and 2 by Craig Thompson (2019). Published by Uncivilized Books. Enjoying this series a lot. I forgot how good Craig Thompson is! Glad he’s back.

When the Snow Melts Part One by Nick Offerman (2015). I like the quiet parts of the story. I think his storytelling is stronger without narration. Hope I can find part two. #minicomic

Hot Tea, Cold Water 3 edited by Leann Leake (2011). The title of each contribution in this zine corresponds with a letter in the alphabet (26 in all).

Operation Pizza by Box Brown (2013). A fun little 3-color Risograph mini printed at SAW. #minicomic

Reptile House 1 (2019). They dub themself the “Philly lowbrow comix quarterly.” It definitely has an underground vibe. I want to use the calendar but then my copy won’t be mint! Picked up at Desert Island. #minicomic

Me + My Guts by Gino Dal Cin (2019). I related to this comic about IBS a lot. Picked it up at Desert Island. #minicomic

Neil Jam 8 by Neil Fitzpatrick (2001). I never took a deep dive into Neil Jam but I like the visual style here. #minicomic

134 Mahana’im St. by Keren Katz (year unknown, around 2017?). A short comic about a memory from childhood, shared on a first date. #minicomic

Amarinthe by Rosemary Valero-O’Connell (year unknown, around 2017?). The title means eternal. This is a short pretty love poem. #minicomic

Goiter by J.R.D. Pettinger (year unknown, around 2016?). Bitter humor in the vein of Brunetti or Clowes. This page is my favorite. #minicomic
