Rock Stew

What to put in such a zine?  I suppose a little bit of everything, within reason.  A cartoon or two, a story or two, a poem or two*, and some opinions.  Really, what does any other magazine have that's not here?  Besides reporters, talent, photographers, MBAs, PANTONE specialists, graphic designers, a marketing department, advertisers, submissions, a fleet of Adobe products, huge machines stamping our content upon unwary pages and handlers to attend to their care and feeding, and readers.

But I suppose most of these things are ultimately necessarily.  So, let's shout into the wind put in what we can.  IF we all contribute what little we are able, it might turn out pretty good.

It's like that story about the guy who threw a stone in a pot and asked the others in the village to add just one thing, and at the end they had a pretty good concoction going for everyone.  What was it called again?  "Rock Stew?"

* In computer terms, I could have written that as "a (cartoon|story|poem) or two" and saved a few words.

  1. Actually, that should be "ultimately unnecessary," although I kind of like how the typo sounds. "Ultimately necessarily." Four syllables, five syllables.
