Mar. 7 - Mar. 30, 2023 (Tues. - Thur.) KICKSTARTER PROJECT My Chair is a humor zine that thinks it's a newspaper (but is actually wildly ridiculous): come for the journalism, stay for the laughs and pretty photos. It's similar to The Colbert Report, except it stays away from politics - and of course it's a zine (single author magazine), not a TV show. If there are enough pre-orders to reach the funding goal, My Chair can be published, and could even become a regular zine with multiple issues. You can check out My Chair and all of the rewards available for backing the project here. Thank you to all the backers who helped bring My Chair to life! We passed our funding goal - meaning the first issue is printed, with a second due in the fall!
