''Why have I never seen one of these before? It's pretty quaint for a compilation, with a single story or comic per zine, of which there are nine, mostly giggle- inspiring, including Snakepit, Blurt, Greasespot, World Salad, Tightrope Laboratory, Option Paralysis, Surprise Autopsy, Clip Tart, and Homemade Boat. I definitely enjoyed going through these pages; zines are usually stronger the more contributors there are because each person is able to give more energy towards content when there is only one thing they are focusing on. World Salad gave me a bloody nose--I like non- sequitorial shit. The drawings in Tightrope Laboratory remind me of Dame Darcy only more scrawling and less detailed. Surprise Autopsy was my favorite because it made the most sense, or, it was appealing to one of my regular needs that someone talk some shit about religion, even if it is totally ridiculous. Snakepit made me smile in the usual fashion, giving the punx a lesson about scabies. As much as I like this, I can't really say it is worth $5, but it does have a silkscreened cover and a kickass comic centerfold. (JB)''
