issue 5 is FREE
Yerp!
We decided to expand our print run and try to make our first profit by giving away the 'zine and selling ads! Didn't work too well but we are not giving up. Yet.
In that spirit, we want you to have a free PDF of issue 5.
What's in issue 5, you ask?
- a plea for help making the ultimate monster from would-be geneticist Dave Mulis
- Eric Witchey's creepy piece on dependency
- Jeremy Malish bleeds all over his breakfast
- Blake Newton really likes animals
- Christopher Schmitz draws banana raincoats
- Gary Moshimer's story about a mad scientist lineage that puts a whole new twist on Mary Shelley
- Melissa Tyler finds that with power comes condescending customer service
- and our puzzle fun page, comix, cool art from around the world, and monster doodles we forced crying kids to draw at Maker Faire.
But...
before we give away hours of labor and suffering*, the fruit of our shriveled yet precious loins...
we must ask you one small favor:
Please consider buying one of our wee $20 ads or a Squid t-shirt
so we don't feel like such suckers. Ha ha, that's kind of a pun.
Thanks! Ok, now email our funny-looking editors and let us know you'd like the PDF.
Web previews coming soon.
* Did you know that we pay our contributors? Not much, but we do.
We've also printed a batch of HOT NEW SQUID FUNNY T-SHIRTS! Yes, you asked for it and you gots it. It's a black and purple design on heavy 6.1 brand-name pre-shrunk cotton. Class = Space Squid.
