Quite a few zines have arrived from Guy Lillian, N3F, and R-Laurraine Tutihasi.

First up, Spartacus from Guy. Guy is from Florida, lots of news on the American political scene and Covid situation in his area. I found it very interesting that he and Rosie have had their shots already. Who knows when they’ll get around to us?

Download Spartacus.

From Laurraine Tutihasi, Purrsonal Mewsings. Cover illo by Taral Wayne has a real cool centaur lady. What I like about this zine are the pictures and descriptions of animals we don’t see around these parts, like the cactus wren. Laurraine is now growing fruit trees in cages–oranges, persimmons, as well as apples and pears. Her husband is a very good astrophotographer and I always enjoy seeing his photos.

Tightbeam, edited by George Phillies and Jon Swartz, who wrote:

We also introduce something a new subgenre PolSciFi — Political (propaganda) Science Fiction, material where the author(s) want to send a political message. I expect that many readers are thoroughly sick of politics at this point, so PolSciFi appears at the very end of the issue, after Cedar Sanderson’s delectable Food of Famous Writers, so as not to spoil your appetite.
