New zines! I didn’t know they’d be so… small! Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Digging in this afternoon (after I do some work on my own zines, actually).
Check out @mathewkumar.com to get your own, there are digital options and a physical ones still in stock.

Portland, you were rad! The @retrogamingexpo.bsky.social kept me busy, but we got to see a bit of the city. It was good meeting people and hopefully making some new fans on the zines and books!
