ALEX HUBBARD

[169]

— I recently scanned an old ‘zine I made with a good friend of mine Dan in Portland Oregon, in 1995. Dan is now a professor of Anthropology. We worked in a funeral home in Portland and documented our jobs there with drawings and writing. We borrowed from industry magazines, the funeral home library, inter-office memos and personnel files. It’s pretty rough in parts but I still really like it.
