I love this. I intended to write a zine venting about this for this jam and missed the deadlines due to real life stuff, but I’ve always hated that hobbies these days have to be so commodified and capitalist-approved. Let Kevin free from the stupid scarves. It’s insane that many hobbies are considered luxuries because apparently not making money in your spare time is a crime (and a sad reality to many).
Living from your hobby is cool.
It doesn’t have to be the only way or even the only valid way.
Yes yes yes! The pain of feeling like everything you do needs to be worth something can be crushing and sadly I see people getting crushed in the cogs far more often than I would like to admit.
You're speaking the truth in this zine. I like the combo of spoken word and comic. For those who have been in the position you describe it hit home right away.
