OFFICE AND ART SUPPLY JUNKY
BSBN Publishing is taking submissions of writing, art, poetry, questions
for the Answer Man, comic art, confessions, etc. for issues #3 & #4 of
Office and Art Supply Junky, the zine by and for office and art supply
junkies the world over.
First, you must admit that you too are an office or art supply junky. That
is the first step.
The next step is to write to us. You are not alone. There are many like
you, many worse off than you are.
You think you have it rough, having to sharpen ten pencils and buy two
boxes of paper clips before you can sit down and start writing that novel?
Are you frazzeled before you can draw that next frame in your comic unless
you go out and buy a new tech pen? Well, let me tell you about a poor soul
that has to lick 100 envelopes before he can even get himself to rise out
of bed in the morning!!! Let me tell you of the graphic artist who has to
rest her head on her ultra-sonic pen cleaner every hour for five minutes to
keep from salivating all over her drawing board.
IT'S ALL TRUE!!
Through the forum that Office and Art Supply Junky provides, we can all
help each other through the rough times.
Text submissions can be sent email (send as 'text') or by post (Discs
preferred).
Artwork for #3 should be no larger than 7 x 9.5 and must be black & white.
Submissions in foreign languages will be considered.
Copies of #1 are available for $2.00. $3.00 Canada, $4.00 world. Copies of
#2 are $4.00, $5.00 or $6.00, all in U.S. funds.
Payment is with copies if we use your submission.
Who is BSBN Publishing?
"Just what the title says, boy. The opening is laugh out loud comedy about
dealing with office supplies. Satire and more about office supplies.
There's thoughts on if supply theft is morally correct [coming] in a future
edition. A funny interview with a printer, that also touched on office
supplies for some strange reason. The way to effectively shop for bargain
office stuff and where to look. The layout of the magazine, you would
swear, is professional. Very nice and neat to read and look at. The text is
legible and I liked it."
KILLING TIMES #4
"The same people who brought us the sublime Baby Split Bowling News have
hit on something really big this time, but first you have to admit it: You
love office supplies, don't you? I mean, you really love them. But do you
love them as much as Oscar Schmirk, who confesses that his office supply
habit began when he found five stackable desk trays on top of a dumpster?
He tells the story: "I was truly hooked when I found myself climbing into
the dumpster and digging through everything. Before that I had been a
typical sucker for things like pens, paper, other cheap items, but I had
never thought about the big league." If dumpster-diving for desk organizers
doesn't seem weird to you, or even if it does, you should think about
ordering a copy of Office Supply Junky. You're not alone anymore..." Josh
Glenn.
THE UTNE READER. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 95.
Office Supply Junky has Great Potential. Office supplies have a weird
magnetic grip on the American psyche. Baby Split Bowling News, on the other
hand, is strange and warped and inexcusably sick. I'm glad it exists.
LADY KATHY, LADIES' FETISH & TABOO SOCIETY
"...impressive contents...work of much higher quality than most other
desktop publishers, and the variety of material which you release is
impressively broad."
