[...] In all honesty, I have a great love of minicomics as well as zines. Iâ€™ve been publishing one since 1995, and am involved in a number of other projects, like reviewing for these folks. I also have a great love of paper, as previously established, and Iâ€™m kind of an indie comix geek (I wrote a dissertation about comix; it doesnâ€™t get too much geekier than that), though, like Malki !

I used TBP as a primer in American history for a visiting foreigner. She went home with a rich, albeit untrue, understanding of whaling and the Civil War.

Opening up the archives was a great move on TBP’s part. Keep ‘em coming, Bryant!
