Because I remember making a minizine on sock puppet commentaries, but I don't know how I feel about that summary. If you assume that the commentaries are a literal allegory for politics, then what about the one that is complaining about having a hand up its ass? What is that an allegory for? (Do I want to know the answer to this question?) Does the puppet complain about the finger in its butt? Or is it one with the fingers? I can't handle these kind of deep philosophical discussions. They make my head hurt.

The Fame! From the article: The first workshop of this series was held last weekend and featured the process of creating a zine (or an independently published magazine), covering layout, production and distribution with a brief history. The instructor was a local zine publisher who goes by the pseudonym Mistress Althaea and puts out a radical "queer zine," Deviant Recipes, and is active in archiving the homemade magazines online as a resource. Feminist geographer Margareta Lelea attended the workshop and said that making zines is a way to think critically and effectively communicate with others about alternative subjects. "I'm particularly intrigued by the genre and the do-it-yourself kind of culture," she said. Participants made their own one-page zines, which ranged in subject from Fodor's A Grrl's Guide to Grad School to found objects in What I Found in My Pocket to sock-puppet stories that comment on racism through humor.
