The cover shows the words THE PRICE OF ZINES IS TOO DAMN HIGH in permanent marker collaged over an angry looking furry, white whiskered tortie cat, who seems to me to be the feline version of the "rent is too damn high guy", the black political candidate and frequent meme image from NYC with a bald head and snow white sideburns beard and mustache, who is poking out from the bottom of the page. Pink and yellow price stickers with outrageous prices dot the empty space, including one that says "$ not paying that".

The Price! Of Zines! Is TOO DAMN HIGH!
Spurred by my encounter with a $20 zine at a Milwaukee bookshop, "The Price of Zines is Too Damn High" is my antagonization of boutique zinester culture. It argues in favor or a return to the roots of zines as a noncommercial means of expression and communication for marginalized communities and crews.
(It's also the first time I've collaged and hand-written a #zine for quite a while... it was fun! and it has lotsa #cats too)
