Kiss Machine's fifteenth issue is now on sale!

Goodbyes are funny things. Sometimes we can’t wait to get someone or something out of our lives, and other times we keep holding on when we really need to let go.

The pieces in this issue show the array of feelings the word “goodbye� can elicit and the range of situations it can be applied to, such as getting kicked out of your apartment, leaving your boyfriend, aborting a fetus, or deciding to live a different kind of life. Enjoy!

Purchase a copy of the most recent issue (#15), which explores the "goodbye" theme.
$5.

Find out more about Summer Ink.

Summer Ink is two months' worth of correspondence between long-time friends Golda Fried and Vesna Mostovac.

On these pages, sticky with tears, cigarette ash, beer, coffee, ketchup and bacon grease, they document their trials and tribulations in the world of love and heartbreak, paying close attention to the songs spinning in the background. Each letter comes alive with graphics Vesna has drawn and collaged, based on images present in the writers' minds as they wrote the letter.
