Wow! This zine is super crazy and hilarious! If you thought "Please let me help" was funny and bizarre this tops it. Some of the stories are written around found photos, which is an interesting way of drawing out creativity itself. Some of writing uses absurd humour - ideas and things that don't often go together. It makes this work much much different than any other humour zines we carry. The best moment of this is the "I Wish Things Were Different" that has crude drawings with it. Our balding hero lists things he wished he didn't do, that it doesn't make sense. These things are:
rolling around in spaghetti
scheduling lamaze classes for himself
masturbating to pictures of the Great Wall of China
carrying around a dozen eggs at all times
throwing glass bottles at the second grade teacher
eating cardboard for every meal
sleeping in the same bed as Grandma
talk about shuffleboard (he's never played it)

Don't look for logic in here - its not there and thats what makes it so great!
