Pure Fruit #21

Pure Fruit #21 is a free zine from Jaja Verlag that arrives in 2020 bursting with chaotic, hand-drawn energy — the cover alone packs in a wild cast including a wide-eyed pink-haired figure, a floppy-hatted character in green, a lumbering monster, a low-flying bomber, alien creatures, and a city skyline all colliding across a vivid yellow landscape. The subtitle "Snack op Platt! Bunte Gesprächsanüsse för Plattsnacker" signals something playfully dialect-flavored and conversational, aimed squarely at fans of Niederdeutsch culture. With a cover price of exactly nothing, this anarchic little publication is an easy invitation into whatever delightfully strange world waits inside.
