Lucy’s follow-up to her first zine shows signs of improvement, but it still needs some work. On the plus side, Lucy is a wonderful storyteller and her tale of the March Break trip to Montreal drew me right in. The nostalgic piece about her job at an organic grocery store was good too. Even the simple one-page drawing and descriptions of various people, cats and plant life in her apartment were endearing. However, the contributions and haphazard (mistaken?) stapling job still demonstrates that this is a zine growing up. Lucy is a good writer but still stretching her wings. Give her time and a bit of space, and she’ll come up with something great. In the meantime, this will do just fine. (Kevin Jagernauth)
