Zine Review – Jelly Cake Vol 1 no 1 “The Geiger Muffin Issue”
Initially, I found Jelly Cake to be oddly confusing, but then I realized this was the concept of it, that it’s the accounts of five New Yorkers who coexist in their own little world. It works. Castle’s more than mildly amusing, and his snippets echo real life in more than one genre. I favored the discussion between a tomato and a potato, the Creative Writing assignment and the two act play between Amy and Harold. Very fun little zine.
Snippet:
“Tomato:
No one eats a potato. You take too long to cook. Forever will you be a shadow of your former self. Chips, fries, salad, you’re a convenience food. Pathetic. You’re very presence is a mockery to all vegetables. Slice me, dice me, sauce me, a million and one uses I have. And I’m ready to serve.”
