Show & Tell #7
Show and Tell evokes easier days, calmer times, and predecessors like Invincible Summer. With a cute hand-drawn style, she retells stories of her childhood. Rachel Lee-Carman makes it easier to swallow with bits like "Santa had my mom's handwriting" and "Childhood is a blip now. A time capsule under blackberry thorns—so difficult to reach when the flow of the present is carrying about on its ramble." Detailing childhood haircutting rituals, the flood of 1992, and a wide assortment of neighbors, including a nun who was "a reliable source of candy," this zine will turn your smile and bring about your own reminiscent bits. And there's also a detailed map of the neighborhood and a recipe for bucket soup.
