Issue #38 of the Ken Chronicles
Issue #38 of the Ken Chronicles was released in February, 2016, and is 28 digest-sized pages in b&w. It contains "Input & Feedback," "Travelogue" (my travels & activities throughout the summer months), "What I've Been Experiencing/Attending/Listening To/Reading (including zines) Lately," and "Updates, Oddities & Random Thoughts."
Review by Stuart Stratu (produces Blackguard and Stratu's Diary Comix):
The
Ken Chronicles #38: One of the greatest things about zines - or at
least those few that actually have them - is the letter column. This
issue has four pages of letters, and one of them is from Don Fields (who
produces his own zine, Twilight World), who writes a great letter. The
main subject of his letter is about him noticing another letter-writer
(and zine maker), Rodney L. complaining about the lack of letters he
receives for each issue. Don goes on to explain why he isn’t too worried
about letters, and mentions a couple of other things, which led me to
write Don a letter. Now I hope he writes me a letter.
After Ken’s letter column is a ‘Travelogue’ of where Ken and his wife Ro went during August, September and October (not the least of which was a visit to Wo Hop for some Chow Fun!).
Next up, everybody’s favourite (or second favourite, if it’s not the letter column...) section - ‘What I’ve Been ______ Lately’. This time Ken and Ro saw an off-off-Broadway production of semi-semi-famous zine person Ayun Halliday (The East Village Inky). He also saw Joe Walsh at the Civic Center, and read The Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test. It was strange to read Ken’s experience of it, remembering my own reading of it many years ago, and how it opened a new universe for me.
