The Sadness of Morris Johns

Morris Johns is really sad. Even rock music makes him cry. I almost got sad reading about him, but the drawings are really cute, especially the mischievous aliens who seem to take pleasure in Morris Johns’ sadness. He reminds me of this guy I used to know in university who’d do things like stand speechless in the middle of the living room, staring at the blank screen of the television set with a vacant look on his face when his housemates were listening to music or reading. He’d also eat peanut butter straight out of the jar with a spoon and sulk because he spent all his OSAP money on a new snowboard, which he almost never used. He liked to blame people for things. Probably thought aliens were after him too, just like Morris Johns. Poor guy. This humorous (yet sad) little zine is worth a look-see if you ever come across it. (Dale Duncan)
