First off, I am thrilled and happy to have been accepted to the Roberts Street Social Centre Zine Residency in Halifax, Nova Scotia! Wooo!  (Nova Scotia – so cold… so mysterious?)

Next, I got the amazing and heart-stopping opportunity to interview one of my queer history Heros – historian Lillian Faderman, author of Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers, as well as 8 other books. Seriously! I almost fell off my chair when I got this interview. (If you are wondering, the interview will be featured in a zine, more details to come soon!)

Next to lastly, I completed my 1950′s zine of Homos in Herstory! You can get one from me in person, at a zinefest, or on the ol’ Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CaptainElvis

And lastly, the queer website Autostraddle wrote this sweetheart piece about the Brooklyn Zinefest, which is … here: http://www.autostraddle.com/i-went-to-brooklyn-zine-fest-had-feelings-and-found-three-more-zines-you-should-read-174181/

Thanks oodles and oodles, everyone! Very happy month, this one.

My friend Lee came up with the word “wolfcycle” – and I instantly knew it was brilliant!
The typical ads for tampons & stuff are usually pink & flowery, and though I love flowers as much as the next fellow, I liked the idea of a more manly euphemism. Fits for people of all genders…and implies that we might be tough werewolves!

If yr free tonight, come to a GEEKS OUT event at a pop-up queer bookstore on the Lower East Side – -

It’s a panel of queer comix folk discussing gendersstuff, queers, herstory, etc – and I’m on this panel!

Come hangout – - 7pm, 27 Orchard Street…and I hear there may be some kind of refreshments. : )

Also! A couple o’ these drawings were honed @ the magical and excellent Sequential Artists Workshop, with the help of such visually astute cartoonists as Tom Hart and Justine

Mostly I’m proud to be part of this “Interview with Great Folks” series by Jude Vachon (librarian at CPL), because Jude is seriously great folks! There are other awesome folk being profiled on that blog too, such as Daniela Capistrano from POC Zine Project, and Violet Fox from ZAPP – and many more.

As well, the Zine Collection currently being built up by Jude is quite impressive, and the library itself is an architectural knockout. There are even dinosaurs you can see from inside the library! (ahem, a glass wall where you can peer into the Natural History museum’s dinosaur area, next-door).

In the zine cave, I’ve been working away on the 1950′s zine of Homos in Herstory – here’s a drawin’ of Lorraine Hansberry, author of famous play “A Raisin in the Sun,” and possibly queer…that is, she subscribed to the lesbian magazine “The Ladder,” in the mid-1950′s, and wrote them a couple intriguing letters.
