Fall 2002. Reflections on a the year after Sep 11, short history on US involvement in the Middle East, lots of talk about Bush and his determination to go to war, and some great made up (or is it?) dialog between Bush and Dick. Also, a funny clip-art page about election day. <br />

&quot;Got Panic? Why the Rapidly Approaching End of the World is so Damn Funny&quot;. Heh. This is the Summer 2002 issue, and kicks off with a look at all the thing the Reagan Administration has done for us, then moves into a piece on my friend Stu Helm, who was sued by Kraft for lots of money. Other pieces about money, Homeland Security, and other funny little cartoons and jokes. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

From Spring of 2002. Grant tears into our government, our president, our culture, and everything else that needs a strong dose of cynical attitude. Enron, business, consumerism, and Van Gogh! Also, lyrics of songs that are most certainly meant to lead the revolution. 20 pages, full size. <br />

This pleasant issue is subtitled &ldquo;Christmas body count&rdquo;, in reference to the deaths in Iraq, and elsewhere, I suppose. Oddly enough, this issue also has a Dr. Suess theme. Yes, you heard me right. JGQ, which is one of the few zines out there dealing with SERIOUS FUCKING TOPICS, has added a touch of Cat in the Hat this time around. You still get all the depressing facts and figures, and you still get the witty political humor, but this time around it is delivered via four line phrases, rhyming of course, and lots of Dr. Suess illustrations. Brilliant. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

War issue for the Fall of 2003. Lots of political clipart, and stories about the War in Iraq. This issue dis&rsquo;s on capitalism, and promotes underground literature. If you want to read a clever set of stories about political discontent, then this is your chance. Full size, 20 pages. <br />

Rumsfeld graces this cover, looking as pleasant as ever. This is the Summer of 2003 issue, and has lots of stuff making fun of Dubya, making fun of people who use guns (Guns are for sissies!), and a piece about a possible connection between Bush being president and all the porno spam that floats around on the internet. Also a long story about vampires. Full size, 20 pages. <br />
