January 15, 2026: More DOLL&KIGU jam notes! Doll Face by Sheeb (girlbites): Nice, short monochrome zine about the appeals of dolls and kigurumi, as regards transcending one's own body, expectations of oneself, potentiality of unaugmented (not quite the word I'm looking for but it will have to do) girlhood. Cute and stark illustrations. Lac-Pochette Centennial by kazehai and ppilotco: BROKEN CORE: sister = doll, a girl story by nadia nova and sarlianna: Love the look of this; and so far, the story and art as well. Interesting that so many of us have ruminated on "greed" in these works in one way or another. Pleasantly unsettling. The anime-style OP was a great touch. Nerve-wracking. The cycle of drinking rolls over us all. The theme of living out deep needs vicariously through perceived or "incomplete" experiences hits. As does the insecurity of never quite feeling in on the "joke".
