I have a good friend who's a cartoonist and he would be very insulted by that.

I wrote for Cha Cha as Wayne Washington
and Shake! as Steven Spencer.
What with Brian White and RIU's Elvis Slag,
did any real people, write for these mags?

I had forgotten Trocadero.

Totally missed it. But Cha Cha was actually very good — under the editorship of future Oscar-winner Ngila Dickson.

I wrote for Cha Cha as Wayne Washington and Shake! as Steven Spencer. The only time in my life I've done anything significant under pseudonyms, and I…

Trocadero magazine circa-1987/1988 was like ChaCha's little sister.

Ian's not a tweeter, but he can get you on that email opposite your name.

Most comics are of a far higher literary standard than the 'average' (sic) issue of Investigrunt, though, Geoff. And far more readable!

What has happened to the Red Bulletin and your column?

They redesigned the back of the magazine and the column didn’t fit any more. No hard feelings – it was a great run.

But it doesn’t seem to go out with the Herald any more, so I guess that arrangement…

When I encounter it in mag stores, I shift copies to the comics section.

I was brought up on printer's ink as my father operated the giant Kosser machine which printed the daily _Hawera Star__. I think that lugging around heavy forms of Linotype probably wasn't good for his health. My after-school job was sweeping around the Linotype machines (no concerns about health risks…

While Planet was ‘big’, The Manipulator was truly Big!

Oh crap, I knew I should have held onto my copies. They mostly ended up pinned to my walls, as a counter to the Joy Division and Smiths posters.

So pleased to have the Planet 6, and maybe next time I'm…

Ian Dalziel; the Father Christmas of old magazine distribution! When I was doing a talk at The UoC earlier this year, Ian turned up and bestowed a folder of old movie mags on me, including the NZ-published Screen Parade.

The Alan Kinnaird book is great. Have already bought two copies;…

Meanwhile, on the drek side of the Web, Investigrunt and Ian Wishart are bleating that they may have to go completely online*. They style themselves as a 'successful' magazine. I'd love to know how, as they never seem to release details about little things like (i) their ownership (ii) chief…

We too came through a print background and, while it is still a wonder what content can be found on the web, there is nothing quite like holding and reading a magazine or book. We subscribe to a surf magazine called The Surfer's Journal that survives on subscription and six…

I still have some extra copies if anyone has room, or need… (the joys of a grassroots distribution system, full copy returns, and a faulty hoarding gene…)

Kerry Brown
a linchpin photon gatherer for both Rip It Up, ChaCha and even Shake! as well…

Speaking of Shake!, I still have…

smell the ink, I think, yes … this is my vinyl Ah yess. Seeing the presses rumble into action as a large print-run started to fly was always awe-inspiring and epic.
How many journalists get to see that in New Zealand now?

Planet 6 is also by Kerry Brown, and the model is Lynice Barrowman.
