Other People Exist zine

Other People Exist is a zine started in October 2004 by cartoonist and elementary school teacher Kurt Xxxxxx. The zine consists primarily of comics and prose by the author and guest contributors. Also known as OPE, the zine is produced on a Sharp AL-800 copier and hand-folded and stapled by the author, who closely inspects each finished copy for blemishes.

OPE zine is one of the most expensive zines available today, at $4 per issue ($24 for a one year subscription). Subscribers consist of fans of the author's work and friends who feel sorry for Kurt, who hasn't held a paying job in over four years.
