Of Zines, Memes, and Blogs
In 1990, I started high school at Enloe in Raleigh, North Carolina. I was not satisfied with what got excluded from the official publications of that microcosm.

To fill the void, I began to make my own zine, with a lot of help from a several friends. In 1994, I graduated from high school and published the last issue, number 8. Ten years later, I still look fondly back at it and the time it represented, even if I grimace at my editorial incompetence.

So, here it is. Spare RIBS, number 8. I'll post a few pages each chance I get, until all 56 are uploaded, in their raw form from the days when memes hadn't invented blogs as a method of transmitting counterculture yet. Instead, there were zines.
