Fanzine/Fanzini is divided into four parts: Letters/Discussion (a series of letters exchanged between John Dowd and his longtime collaborator John Jack Baylin), Yogo Development Band (a recounting of a meeting between the John Dowd Fanny Club and Chicken Lee, the new leader of the band), a visual essay comprised of a series of images from popular culture (including a T. Rex, some maps, and various cartoon cats, from Disney’s The Aristocats to Garfield and Felix), and “Special Exclusive!!!!” (a collage of ads, more Disney imagery, and an interview between the Johns). Spiral bound and printed in black and white, this collaborative periodical continues Dowd’s exploration of celebrity, cartoons (in particular Disney’s), and advertisements, bringing them together to develop a more nuanced exploration of the visuals that fill American daily life.
