<Title>HUMOR </Title> May be reproduced this as long as this sentence is included. <DT> 30: The Ultimate JFK Assassination Theory <DD>A silly one-shot paper poking fun at the multitude of JFK assasination theories. Some of the theories are so outlandish that they are inherently funny but this one goes one step further. It is funny but not outragously -- recommened mostly to JFK-heads and other fans of conspiracy satire. $1 Each to Gregory Roze, The Rozebuzz Media Group, 399 West Bagley Road, Suite 121 Cleveland, OH 44017 (4 Pages/T/RSF) No trades/no ads. <DT> A Very Small Magazine Issue 21 <DD>The *Very Small Magazine* is now slightly larger. Expanded to a full digest size it's still quite funny and enjoyable.

It's not all that funny, clever, or satirical -- acutally it's quite rude and tasteless, not what you'd expect from a bunch of adult super-intellectuals. There's a collection of silly proverbs, the results of Create a Caption, some LEAK News, and how to turn Christma cards into boxes. , Subs: $10.00 for 12 issues to Hank Roll, The Atrocity, 2419 Greensburg Pike, Pittsburgh, PA 15221 (14 Pages/S/RSF) No trades/submissions OK/back issues/no ads. <DT> Baby Sue If you have a sick sense of humor and like to be verbally abused, you'll love Baby Sue comics.

'93 <DD>Some zines improve with age while others get trite. After reading the same stupid arguments for the same homophobic views it just gets anoying. More of the same here but with less humor. Maybe they're just bitter becuase they lost their head honcho in the White House. Like many universities, University of Iowa is considering implementing a sex act policy. Read one side of the story here. Comments about RU-486, a perverse view on sexual harrasement, calling Clinton's health plan "fascist," and a discussion of TV porn. That's funny, I haven't seen any porn on TV since Manhattan Cable channel J. I didn't know they had that in Iowa. $1 Each , Subs: $10.00 for 12 issues to Campus Review, 336 S Clinton #16, Iowa City, IA 52240 (20 Pages/T/RSF) No trades/submissions OK/no ads. <DT> Die Evan Dando, Die <DD>Created in reaction to attention given to the new Lemonheads album, J. Fox created a zine inspired by the lead singer Evan Dando. The main reason for the hatred is Dando's cooler-than-thou sensi-man attitude. Things Dando may and may not do; a Dando crossword puzzle; bands that are better than the Lemmonheads, cool cars; tips on shaving; and a Hawaii 5-0 trivia quiz. $1.50 Each to Jeff Fox, Die Evan Dando, Die, 1464 Easton Rd., Warrington, PA 18976 (20 Pages/D/RSF) No trades/no ads. <DT> Extremely Underground: The Book of Forbiden Cartoons Issue 3 <DD>*Underground Office Memos* is S.E. Mills's ongoing collections of those bizarely funny printed joke signs passing through fax lines and xerox machines of our country's highly respected corporations. The name was changed to "Extremely Undeground" cuz she's now working on a book for a real live book publisher. If you thought the last collection was outragous, wait till you see this "Extremely Underground" collection. You've all seen the "Iraqi scud missile launch" of the camel with his balls on the block but have you seen the nine-page "The Fuckstones" or the "Crotch Master 6000." $2 Each to Yendie Boox Publishing, Inc., P.O.

Joe's expanded *Funny Pages* to a full-sized thang now -- cleaner layout too. Clinton jokes, worst pick-up lines, ethnic jokes, sick humor, sage advice, a bunch of cartoons by *F5's* Kit Lively, and a whole page of Bobbitt jokes. "Why does he need to shave? He's got a little stubble." Not politically correct. Who the fuck cares? Send 'em some jokes and maybe you'll get a few issues in return. $2 Each , Subs: $10.00 for 8 issues to Joe Workman, Funny Pages, P.O.

But News is stranger than Truth. No one points this out better than the *Gnu Snoose.* Clippings from all over the globe and chuckles galore... from Bob Packwood's role in a Senate aide's workshop on harrasment, to that big Roadkill Helper lawsuit. Why read one newspaper when you could get the Snoose and read dozens? $1.50 ppd Each to D.

'93 <DD>Serious and satirical commentary on a variety of subjects. Personal observations by Ed about his own life and life around him.

Strange photos from the Fantasy Fest '93, the story of Elvis spotted in the Florida Keys, the Elvis/Jesus coincidence (from the *Funny Pages*), an essay about the Serb/Croat war, a review of *Mondo 2000,* how to pass as middle class, and lots of cool comics. $1.50 Each , Subs: $16.00 for 12 issues to Bob Clark, Mangrove News, 906-F Kennedy Drive, Key West, FL 33040 (16 Pages/S/RSF) submissions OK/takes ads. <DT> Manic Moms: A Newsletter for Crazed Mothers Vol 2 Issue 1 Feb/March '94 <DD>Now this is something that's really necessary.

Further imagine that Wavy weren't a lone clown in a magic bus but part of a whole movement, indeed, a Clan. That might give you a rough picture of the McGillicuddy Serious Party, which has been standing elections in New Zealand since 1984. The core of their platform is the "Great Leap Backward", one part Deep Ecology, one part anarchotribalism, one part Jacobite monarchism, and three parts dadaist belly laugh. The damnedest thing is that some of it makes sense. A fine tonic for the excessively political. $3.00 Each to McGillicuddy Serious Party, P.O.

Scott quit his gig writing for *Arsenio* to devote more time to his zine. As a skilled writer his zine is quite funny.

Many of those longer story-type things but I go for the quick jabs. "The Art of Procrastination: I'll tell you later." "The Art of Evasion: I'll tell you later, so how's your..." Since Eric Broder found this line in a serious business magazine "even sugar-laden brands are filling and a farily reasonable nutritional value" he decide to write up a few sugared cereal reviews.

Even after being an avid reader for several years, I still have trouble discerning the fact from fiction. Amusing essays by Paul, Harry Shearer, and others. The best part are his "Media Freak" clips at the end, always "true" and always unbelievable. Compare and contrast: Howard Stern's Private Parts to Michael Jackson's private parts. Well we know more about Howard's because he can't seem to stop talking about them. Will Durst attempts to explain Howard's popularity, while Paul Krassner presents some of the missing trascripts from the Oprah/Michael Jackson interview. We also get an account of Carlos Castaneda's sorcery lessons, Marv Davidov's trip to Cuba, and Jeff *(Fair)* Cohen's prank about making a Constitutional Amendment banning off-key singing of the National Anthem. $2 Each , Subs: $12.00 for 6 issues to Paul Krassner, The Realist, P.O.

There's an essay explaining how Springfield is a city populated by out of towners, a comic about the conservative group Citizens for Decent Standards, a tourist guide to Springfield, and a funny bunch of proposed additions to the Precious Moments figurines called Prescious Mutants. Very funny stuff. $1.50 Each , Subs: $ 5.00 for 4 issues to The Springfieldian, P.O. Box 4952, Springfield, MO 65808-4952 (6 Pages/S/RSF) No trades/back issues/no ads. <DT> The Stake: Humor & Horror for a Dying Planet Issue 4 <DD>A satirical horror magazine from III Publishing, publishers of several modern horror books.

I see 'em as tounge-in-cheek tales of personal angst. Jed produced a collection of short fiction that really has a way of pulling you in. There's the first chapter in the story of his life, the deviant sex habits of Wally and the Beaver, the truth about Jesus's jealous little brother, a confession of being a TV Baby, "The Loneliest Mosher," and a longer, more serious piece about the life of Casey. $1 + 2 stamps Each to Jed , 1014 3rd St, Los Banos, CA 93635 (40 Pages/D/RSF) no ads. <DT> The Weird News: The Word About An Absurd World Issue 20 Winter '94 <DD>Don's short but amusing zine of political satire. Clinton's proposal to put all welfare recipients into prison, Moscow, Idaho becomes part of Russia, and dogs are now arming themselves. Funny stuff from Mr. Busky and definitely worth the price. free/SASE Each to Don Busky, 7393 Rugby St., Philadelphia, PA 19138-1236 (2 Pages/S/RSF) no ads. <DT> World Domination Review: Journal of Amateur Paranoia Issue 10 Valentine's Day <DD>For the lighter side in paranoid conspicracy theory check out *WDR*. Really funny stuff. Kinda like if Paul Krasner took over *Steamshovel Press*. Mostly reprints as Larry scales back his entire publishing empire. The big Clinton/Bubba/CIA conspiracry as reported by *Bovine Gazette;* a great piece from *Farm Pulp* about living between the cracks inside an office building; and quotes about Rush Limbaugh compiled by Larry. He also included a bunch of neat stuff, I think you'll get some too if you subscribe. $1 Each , Subs: $ 4.00 for 4 issues to Larry & Sandy Taylor, World Domination Review, P.O.
