As you read this, Patti is settling into her new role as an art student in Halifax. Though we’ll miss running into her around town, if her lively zine is any indication, I’m sure that she will bring all kinds of good things to her new city. In this ninth edition of Fuzzy, Patti updates on her life (end of her Punk Planet column, impending move to Halifax) and compiles some good reading by contributors on menstruation, Quebec City protests, and more. The highlight for me was the very funny “Is Activism Sexy” comic strip done by Patti herself. Here, Patti asks “will the tear-off molotov cocktail bra be in vogue for summer 2001?” As always, engaging and friendly, those of us in Toronto can think of this edition of Fuzzy as our consolation prize – Patti is gone from our streets, but her zine makes up for her absence.
