Remember feeling really excited, totally out of place, completely invincible, and absolutely homesick the first time you traveled on your own far away from your hometown? Read about Halley, punk rock adventurer, leaving Massachusetts to attend a semester of art school in California, and it will all come back to you. This zine covers the entire semester, which she spends skating, hanging out with new, diverse friends, and dealing with occasional lovesickness. The writing is good; typos and awkward wording are forgivable because there’s enough voice behind it to come alive. I’m having trouble trying to describe how cool the illustrations are, but like I said, she’s an art major, so just take my word for it. –Lauren Trout (halleyisbatty@gmail.com)
