=o= It's self-published -- presaging the era of minicomics!!!

=o= Attached is as complete a Nina Bibliography as I can come up
with.  I know of a few more stories that might have been printed
in _Rip_Off_Comix_, but I don't know which issues:  the "R-word"
story, the "Men are Monsters" story and the earthquake story
come to mind (if anyone knows, please send me mail and I'll seek
those issues out.)

Nina Paley Bibliography
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This bibliography is in chronological order of creation,
rather than of publication.

The "Nina's Adventures" comic strip is usually printed
at about half the size of a comic book page, so they will
be referred to as "half-page."  Her then-home paper, the
_Santa_Cruz_Comic_News_, would sometimes publish two on
a page, one atop the other; thus she drew a few single
strips that were twice that size to fill that space (and
tended to submit these to comic book publishers), so they
weill be referred to as "full-page."

Most of the mini-comics are basically impossible to get,
but Nina has mentioned including the material in a future
book.
