Duped Issue No 1: The New Age
40 pages / $3
Duped reads like Mad Magazine dropped from an alternate
universe, or perhaps more like one of those antiquated oddball religious /
occult tracts that people copied and distributed anonymously in the 1970’s.
There is a lot of humor in Duped, but how much of it is funny is purely
subjective. What worked for me: a choose your own adventure style story called Destiny Revealed at the Knights of Columbus;
parody cd reviews; “Call me Crazy”; Ye Olde Yorker comics & the horoscope
section. Chicken & Garfunkel and the centerpiece The Omegaplex End Times HQ
were also hysterical. This is the debut issue & I suspect it will evolve
and just get weirder. This is the most innovative zine thusfar in my 2012
reading list.
