This Month's Featured Article! Craphound cover Craphound is a full-size Picture Book for Discussion and Activity by Sean Tejaratchi. The zine consists mostly of royalty-free clip-art, along with brief essays and satirical features.

Each issue explores a different subject in its imagery, past subjects have ranged from Hands, Hearts & Eyes to Clowns, Devils and Bait.
