Zine Review – Elephant Mess #17

With a cool flip-up format, Elephant Mess emphasizes stream-of-consciousness, the pouring output of one person’s mind. Yet, unlike many zines with this format, the ideas have been refined to the point of being literature, and not purile tripe. Dan Murphy makes it work, with a sweet sequence of concepts that makes you think about his world without being arrogant or ordinary. Dan likes to make you ponder, and I like that in any good piece of writing.

Snippet:

“Fact or fiction? Isn’t that one of the deepest, most perplexing of life’s questions anyway? It only makes sense to perpetuate the mystery by playing into the myth, right?”

A mere fifty cents, an excellent value.
