The rules for making an issue of Jutchy Ya Ya are simple. Fill eight pages with whatever comes into my head. Try to get an issue done as quickly as possible.
If you want one in print, you can leave a comment below and we can sort something out, I’m sure. You could also head to issuu.com to read them online. I think you have to sign up to look at the stuff on issuu, but it’s free otherwise, and there are heaps of other zines over there too.
