    #Spotted at a Zinefest in Aotearoa New Zealand:

    Two young humans (10?) with big hair and punk rock attitudes are explaining to a customer that their zine about what life was like in the 80s is not ACTUALLY accurate, but, like, MIGHT be accurate. (There is a dinosaur on the cover.)

    A woman (30s?) is sternly ordering a mob of small humans (3-6?) out from under a bush.
    Small humans charge out, laughing gleefully, heading for the nearest playground. Mum picking up the smallest, throwing her over her shoulder.
    Giggles and snorts against her back.

    A young human (10?) is very seriously signing a zine titled "The Wonderful Planet Snakes". A tiny little scrawl on the inside cover. Handing it over with a shy smile as a woman (40s?) approaching her table says: "I want one too!"

    A woman (30s?) is sipping a vanilla diet coke while standing by her stall.
    Laughing and saying: "This stuff is hummingbird nectar to me!"

    A teen (13?) who is towering over his mum is saying: "Mum, when we're finished here can we go get the cake? We gotta get the cake!"

    Any typos spotted in this post spent a lovely time at Nelson Zinefest this afternoon. If typos spotted they'll be reading a very informative zine about what life was like in the 1980s. (Apparently dinosaurs existed!)

    Also, I definitely don't post pictures of young humans but these two have assured me that they and their parents are totally cool with it and are happy to promote their majestic brand "Loo Rolls Comix". 😊)
