The Truth About Aliens (According to my friend Matt, who likes to get high and talk about aliens on Discord)

8 pg minizine w/cover + centerfold

"Something here is doing something weird, and all signs point to aliens."

My friend Matt is what I would call a "skeptical believer" in aliens -- someone who has come to the conclusion that while a whole bunch of UFO "evidence" is obvious bullshit, there are still enough credible accounts to believe that aliens exist and even occasionally come to Earth.

When I started this zine, I really thought it would be funnier. It's a funny concept and Matt is a funny bastard, but it turned into something much more earnest, like a pocket-sized 101 guide to modern ET lore. Matt was kind enough to provide reference images of "real aliens" captured on film and I stole his words off of Discord for big portions of the text. Thanks, Matt!

This minizine has a fold-out alien autopsy centerfold and separate cover. Illustrations were made in four-color ballpoint pen, and the final zine was printed on 20lb interior paper with a 28lb cover.
