Flatter

Jaina Davis's irreverent zine is part artzine, part perzine. Issue 6 of the mid-1990s collaged format glossy magazine focuses on Japanese/Jewish identity, complete with Hello Kitty clip art. Davis's friends are frequent contributors, with comics and personal narratives that touch on perversion, clowns, Japanese/Jewish foods, Jewish American Princesses, Yiddish jokes, squid ramen, and Prozac. This issue also includes extensive letters sections, a dating game, and a glossy centerfold of Spankee Lovewe as well as a “match the face to the fanny” game.
