Artwork for Useful / Useless No. 1: The Binder Clip
TOUCH THE EVIDENCE

Nothing happened. That is exactly what it wants you to think.

Useful / Useless No. 1: The Binder Clip

One object. Five uses. Two are defensible.

PRESS FOR REASSURANCE

Too late. You are already reading Broken Zine.

Useful: cable holder, emergency phone stand, toothpaste squeezer.

Questionable: wallet for exactly three dollars.

Useless but satisfying: clip it to a desk drawer and flick the metal arms when someone says “synergy.”

Rating: 8/10. Industrial goth clothespin.

Portrait artwork for MARCY COIL

MARCY COIL

Marcy Coil tests ordinary objects for usefulness, uselessness, emotional leverage, and unexpected second careers.

Push something. The magazine is poorly supervised.

PUSH THE WEIRD BUTTON

A small bureaucrat somewhere just stamped APPROVED FOR NONSENSE.
