This is Fat!So? the zine before there was Fat!So? the book!
I have toted this issue around with me whenever I moved from one house to another since the 90s; that should tell you something about how much I enjoy rereading this zine. The pages have somehow turned purple from the hot pink covers, and most of the good stuff here has been reprinted in the book, but I’m still not ready to give this up!
My favorite parts are the Aunt Agony advice column, the anatomy lesson (hands), and the “little lost lb. o’ fat.” Good stuff.
