Description: This is a hand-illustrated perzine written in tribute to the author's many childhood nicknames. Torres, a thirty-year-old self-described wife and mother, discusses her use of “Spanglish” in this issue, while linking the arduous and mostly matriarchal controlled process of homemade tamale making to the Mexican-American tradition of assigning nicknames to children. The zine includes a “Spanish dictionary of sorts” and a “family-nickname-tree foldout.”
