In the same tradition of "While I Was High", Chris turns to his friends to deliver the goods about shitting. "Shit!" is not for the squeamish. A lot of poop talk goes on in this zine. But if you do have a sense of humor, you can read about people shitting on trailer homes, shitting in rivers, and shitting on trees. 24pgs printed in black ink. Available in print.

Chris has never been high or drunk in his life. He's not a sissy, he just makes the right choices when it comes to what goes in his body. "While I Was High" is a collection of stories from Chris' friends who have plenty of stories to tell about being fucked up. It has some very funny stories about tripping and almost being caught smoking weed by your elementary school D.A.R.E Officer. 24pgs printed in black ink. Available in print

Join Jimi and Destiny as they set out to destroy all of the corporate forced happiness companies with a BIC Lighter and a can of gasoline. Bleeding Hearts Brigade is a black and white hand drawn comic by Pen 15 Films leader, Jimi Nguyen. If emo could be translated into comics, then Jimi has done it. It’s love, heart break and fire, wound up in a nicely drawn comic.



The Haunt of Swimmer's Ear is another comic drawn by Jimi Nguyen. It was printed in full color and limited to 25 copies. It tells the story of skatboarding a haunted handrail which is detailed with some graphic drawings.

It was like a perfect storm. In the summer of 2004, Jade Tree Records sent a few of their bands on the road for the Jade Tree United Tour. The tour's purpose was to register voters and gain awareness on the upcoming Presidential election. Swimmer's Ear had long been a supporter of Jade Tree bands. When they found out that 3 bands (Challenger, Paint it Black, Strike Anywhere) that they had just recently inviewed would be playing 2 stops of the tour, one in Chicago and one in Minneapolis, it was decided that a tour only issue would be released for the Minneapolis show. 100 copies were made of this zine. Half of them had bright green covers and the other half had bright orange. During the show, they noticed that a lot people were reading the zines during each bands' set and one fan was going around and having band members sign his copy. The Paint it Black interview is also featured in Swimmer's Ear #12. The Strike Anywhere interview is also featured in Swimmer's Ear #13. The Challenger interview is also featured in Swimmer's Ear #14.
