A bit later we connected again. Ainsworth was based in Aberdeen, and I was interested in other small periodicals in Grays Harbor County. This was during a transitional period in 'zine history. The early era of online serials was just starting. Randall had a monthly called RAndY's RumOR RaG, which can now be considered something a pioneer effort.
So here's how Ainsworth described his publication in 1993:
And here is the July 1993 issue. We Newave Comix artists call this digest size. Remember, the Worldwide Web was still in an embryonic state at this time. It would not start becoming a household feature for two or three more years. Oddly, the very first website still exists!
Hope you enjoyed this little peek into computer technology coupled with 'zine history. Impressive that this publication was started in 1985!
