Highly unsanitary comedy.
A zine is a self-published book or magazine. Some are more or less printed blogs, others are just like magazines (or, like Adventures in Menstruating, periodicals, if you will) and still others are non-fiction publications. Several defy classification, which is allowed because zines are self-published. If you are interested in zines, check out the links page.
