Goo Soup · monthly · by mail

Goo Soup

A small, strange magazine in black and white. It comes in an envelope, once a month, to your actual mailbox.

The Latitudinarian Society P.O. Box ——— PRINTED MATTER Goo Soup, monthly Please do not bend No. 1
Shown at about actual size on a desktop screen: the magazine and the A2 envelope it ships in.

The object

Goo Soup is meant to be held. It's small enough to read in one hand and cheap enough to fold back on itself, scribble in, or leave on a train.

It's printed in one ink. Every gray you see in it is made of tiny round dots, the way newspapers used to do it.

What's in the soup

Mostly

Drawings

Dense, detailed, black-and-white work, printed small enough that you'll want a magnifying glass.

Also

Things that don't fit

Writing, diagrams, games, found text, and ideas that didn't belong anywhere else.

Every month

Ask April

An advice column. You write in, April answers, and the answer gets printed.

Ask April

Ask about art, work, love, money, roommates, or the thing you keep putting off.

Questions may be edited for length. We never print your name unless you sign it, and we never share your email.
