Johanna Fateman, probably best known as a member of the band Le Tigre, attended Reed College of Portland, OR -- notorious for academic excellence contrasted with an unconventional grading system -- where, Fateman writes, she "started making a fanzine called Snarla with my best friend from high school, Miranda July."
Fateman went on to pen such titles as My Need to Speak on the Subject of Jackson Pollock, The Opposite and The Opposite Part II and ArtaudMania, the latter of which detailed Fateman's hilarious in-class feuds with an abrasive art professor.
