Remember Me is a Riso printed zine compiling cartoon characters drawn from memory by me and my friends.

I just got some stickers made for issue number one to celebrate the launch of issue number 2, which is being printed as I type this.

You can buy a printed copy here or support this project by getting a digital version on Patreon for $3!

Issue 2 Remember Me - Forces of Evil featuring exclusively cartoon villains is coming soon.

While you wait for that to drop, I suggest you try to draw some cartoons from memory. It's a humbling exercise.

Please Please Me, released 22nd March 1963

Between them The Beatles adopt a do-it-yourself approach from the very beginning. They write their own lyrics, design and eventually build their own instrumental backdrops and work out their own vocal arrangements. Their music is wild, pungent, hard-hitting, uninhibited…and personal. The do-it-yourself angle ensures complete originality at all stages of the process.

Tony Barrow, Please Please Me sleeve notes

Paul McCartney in New Orleans, 1975.

“DECURTIS: What was your relationship with John during that period when he was living in New York and not recording or playing? Were you in touch with him? GEORGE: I saw him a couple of times. I didn’t often go to New York, but when I was in New York, I’d go see him, and he was nice. He was always enthusiastic. That period where he was cooking bread and stuff, I always got an overpowering feeling from him. Almost a feeling that he wanted to say much more than he could, or than he did. You could see it in his eyes. But it was difficult. DECURTIS: In what way? GEORGE: Well, you’d read all these stories [from him] – and they’d keep coming all the time – about how The Beatles weren’t actually anything. That they didn’t mean anything. That he was the only one who had a clue about anything – and the wife. There was a definite strained relationship right from the White Album. There was a lot of alienation between us and him. Well, there was alienation amongst all of us. It was particularly strained because having been in a band since being kids, then suddenly we’re all grown up and we’ve got all these other wives. That didn’t exactly help. All the wives at the time really drove wedges between us. And then after the years, when I saw John in New York, it was almost like he was crying out to tell me certain things, or to renew things, relationships, but he wasn’t able to, because of the situation he was in.”

— George Harrison, Rolling Stone: George Harrison gets back. (November 5th, 1987)

People on twitter have been saying this website is extremely white and tbh its making me very curious what the demographics of this site are (of my own reach anyway) so

DISCLAIMER: Race is a non scientific concept with no exact definitions. It is a social construct primarily characterized by how society treats you and thus this is an imperfect poll. If you feel none of the options here reflect you and your experience I implore you to reblog this with your experience as I am curious about that and want to hear about it.

Ok, so apparently Simon Napier-Bell has written that Brian said of The Beatles, “There’s real love between all five of us. […] I never minded other people being around. I’m not jealous. Not of girlfriends, wives, even other boyfriends.”

“You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” by Simon Napier-Bell (2005)

I mean, did we just get queer Beatles confirmation from (Napier-Bell’s memory of) Brian?

Amazing find from @crownics
