My Favourite Graphs

My Favourite Graphs is an A7 colour mini-zine of funny graphs and pie charts.

I do love a funny chart or graph, and this zine hits that spot. I’m not sure which one is my favourite – the Batman bar graph or the ‘likelihood of eating something healthy’ line chart. Either way, I was smiling all the way through.

I have to give a big hat tip to Saff because the colour in this zine comes from gel pens! (Or another coloured pen; I could be mistaken.) The colours are fun and shiny, and I’m impressed by how much work it must have been to put colour into every single copy of the zine.

This is a quick read but a fun and colourful one that I’ve flipped through a few times. One to check out.

The Success Rate of the Herbs I Have Bought at Bunnings is an A7 full colour mini-zine about Rebecca’s experiences with herbs bought from Bunnings (Australia’s everything including the kitchen sink shop).

This zine is like reading reviews before deciding to buy herbs, except so much cuter, more fun, and with to-the-point notes.

Basil, flat leave parsley, and four other herbs get a spotlight in this lovely little zine. Each page features one herb with the name, a drawing of the herb, and three* notes about Rebecca’s growing experiences. It’s not all dry facts, however, with adventures with a caterpillar and food uses for the herbs making it in.

There’s really everything to love about this zine, and I’m not even any good at growing… well, anything. I hope the ‘herbs I’d like to try’ part on the back means there will be a part two in the future.

*Except for chives, which gets two. Rebecca really doesn’t like chives.
