ZICS Zines and Comics Picnic
There's only one thing better than a finely crafted zine, and that's a sandwich to match.
Overview
If you haven’t awoken to the whole concept of zines, what they are and how you can get your hands on them, never fear; your education is coming and it shall be swift. Simply put, zines are self-published, handmade, price-efficient, totally unique books, booklets, or just a bunch of paper with a couple of staples. Check out our pick of Brisbane best ones here.
The best part about zines is that their content is pretty much fluff free – between art, short stories, poetry or whatever a certain zine specializes in – you’re not going to come across an article on ’10 Ways to Drive your Man Crazy’ or any Murdoch-muddling. Hooray for zines!
Now that you’ve had your brief education on zines your next lesson should come as no surprise: there’s only one thing better than a home made zine, and that’s a home made sandwich. ZICS – king pins of Brisbane’s zine-scene - are holding a Zine and Comics Picnic for all the like-minded creatives out there who want to swap, sell and share in some food, comics and zines. Don’t be the jerk who says they didn’t bring a plate because they’re not hungry, then eats everything. And DEFINITELY don’t be the jerk who doesn’t bring any zines because they’re ‘creatively full’, then reads everyone else’s. That’s not okay.
The picnic will be held at New Farm Park 12pm, this Sunday. Don’t forget your plate, but definitely don’t forget an armful of your favourite prints.
