What the hell's a 'zine' exactly?

A little while ago I had a short-lived infatuation with the late 80s comedy "zine" Army Man. Info about Army Man can be found here. The only problem is it's hard to have a long-lived infatuation when the only copies of the zine available are incredibly bad, but useful, scans. The parts that are readable are worth reading, so go for it.


Long story short on Army Man, it's just jokes. Written by really good comedy writers like Jack Handy, Bob Odenkirk, future 'Monk' creator Andy Breckman, and original Simpsons writers Jon Vitti, John Swartzwelder, and (Army Man creator) George Meyer among many others. It was kind of like twitter before twitter, only not on the internet.


So anyway, I decided to do a tribute of sorts to Army Man, called it Enthusiast because it was the most magazine-y type name I could think of. And true to form I've decided to have the only available copies be poorly done scans. Enjoy
