Lil' Shorties

About this book

Lil’ Shorties is a risoprint zine made up of three short comics: Sunday Guilt, Shame Shame Shame, and A Perfect TenBen. Sunday Guilt begins with Rodriguez waking up at 1PM in the afternoon, grabbing some pizza, and blissfully binging reality TV. However, checking social media gives her the impression everyone around her is doing something “productive,” sending her into a spiral of guilt. Shame, Shame, Shame tells the story of Rodriguez’s misguided attempts to stop a friend from being cheated on at a party. Finally, A Perfect TenBen is Rodriguez’s satirical take on the culture and contestants of the Bachelor. Lil Shorties features a bright blue and red color scheme, and was printed at the School of Visual Arts RisoLAB in New York City . – Alekhya
