ZuZu Cartoons
ZuZu (they/she) is a cartoonist & zinester. They’re responsible for the mini-comics Morning Routine and Beast with Five Fingers (published by Hellcat Press), as well as They Have Issues, an international anthology from 18 creators working in comic book shops.
Currently, she’s working on the webcomic Playlists for Possessed Dolls and Depressed Smokers in an ongoing quest to make the least-relatable series in existence.
ZuZu tries to help make the world a little better, which according to social media means they’re an “activist.” All that really means is that she distributes several free zines and online resource documents. Social media is the most updated place to find these, but they’re also posted below.
ZuZu currently resides in land belonging to the O’Odham & Piipaash people, A.K.A. Tempe, Arizona.
Playlists for Possessed Dolls and Depressed Smokers
This is a collection of free zines focusing on mental health, chronic illness, and templatizing information for users.
Informational Zines
I give out these zines for free, as I do not believe information should be held hostage behind a paywall. Each of these zines is a one page 8.5″ x 11″, making it cheap to print and assemble. This means it is easy to re-distribute these zines amongst our communit(y/ies).
This is a template for talking to partners, family, and friends about mental, disabled, and chronically ill conditions. It is designed to enable conversations about support between partners/friends/colleagues. It also includes questions about how to support one another mutually.
This is a zine about my experience getting diagnosed with ADHD, as well as tips for speaking with medical professionals and dealing with a new condition. It also includes a flow chart with instructions on how to call a new provider.
“Finding Physical Community in This Digital Hellscape” is about how to use online resources to locate communities and connect with people in the real world.
This is a general Resources Document with links to various care providers, mutual aid organizations, voting resources, etc.
