Dan might be a dolphin, but James the Stanton needs help!

I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin by James the Stanton

October 21, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I think that James the Stanton might be a little crazy. Okay, a lot crazy. Afterall, why would someone write a book (or more actually a zine) called I Think Our Friend Dan Might Be a Dolphin and proceed to make one of the more warped things I have ever read (and honestly I think I’ve read several warped things). I hated everything about this book. It was too small. It was too blue. It was really really NSFW or  anyplace else for that matter. […]

People who weren’t the homecoming royalty and don’t want to be./Anti-cool is its own cool competition.

January 17, 2016 by Halbs Leave a Comment

An impressionable youth of the 1990s loved Tales of a Punk Rock Nothing. It looked and read differently than most of the other books that he owned. The irony of buying an indie punk book in his suburban Barnes & Noble didn’t escape him, but he still enjoyed the book just the same. Fast forward fifteen years of world travel, NPO work, and growing up. A chance reintroduction at a Half-Price Books reunited said youth and said book, and a glorious reunion was had by […]
