Nicci Goes to Hollywood

Issue XXVI, November 2006

This may not be the birthday issue, but it's still a special one. As I write this, we have run out of toner for the printer and are patiently waiting for a fresh batch to arrive. We hope to be able to have some of these issues available for the two year show ... so we shall see. Special thanks, as always, to Sherri Berry for helping with the production on this issue.

Issue XXV, October 2006

Thanks to Frank Norton for his submission and his help and thanks to Daniel Zender for helping with the production on this issue.

Issue XXIV, September 2006

A table of contents with no contents, a review of the MTV VMAs, and two pages featuring Antonio Gibronio ... what else could you ask for?

Issue XXIII, August 2006

With Kunal back from New York, the Innocent Citizens team is back in full force like Voltron when all available parties were present and formed the giant robot known as Voltron with their collective abilities. Unstoppable. Thank you to Kristin Casaletto, and Justin Childress from Art Prostitute for their submissions. And ... Ted Forbes makes good on a promise ... one submissions from him; thank you Ted, thank you.

Issue XXII, July 2006

An AIM conversation with Trevor and Kunal confusing Ted Forbes and Steven Heller's birthday, Daniel Zender's TOP 10 Road Trip Albums list, How to Build a Plane, and a bizarre spread devoted to Kari Wasoba.

Issue XXI, June 2006

The Brown Hornet plays sax. That's the name of this issue. Pete orders more RAM for his computer (I think), Kunal is in NYC, we move into our new loft, Pete implores you to listen to Damsels in Distress, and Trevor superimposes Kunal's face on the Statue of Liberty. Chris hides a sparrow in an old man's beard.

Issue XX, May 2006

In issue 20, we wait in anticipation of the notorious XXX issue (30), but alas it shall never happen. I am writing this in retrospect now. Trevor's card battle, what to name your baby, a sweet illustration of a whale battling a squid in chess, and many other things.

Issue XIX, April 2006

Uh oh we moved to a new format! During a car ride from Dallas to Springfield, somewhere deep in the bowels of Oklahoma, the boys of Innocent Citizens decided to up the anty and take the zine to the next level ... of measurements. Thanks to Kristin Casaletto for her submissions.

Issue XVIII, March 2006

Thanks DJG for a wonderful show.

Issue XVII, February 2006

February marks the month of the NGTH+DJG show at the Moxie Cinema in downtown Springfield. Thanks to DJG for coming all the way from Kansas City to help us. R.I.P. Richard Pryor.

Issue XVI, January 2006

Where is Kunal? He's at home for winter break. Thanks to Rogan Howitt and Frank Chimero for stepping in and up to submit some pages. AND a potato stamp by Daniel Zender of Captain Picard. You can't get this anywhere else.

Issue XV, December 2005

DJG + Nicci Goes to Hollywood! This issue includes the famous note from Kunal's landlord and submissions from Art Chantry. Thank you to Douglas Wilson for the cover design, which he took the time to letterpress for us. Love that cock!

Issue XIV, November 2005

This issue includes another famous Daniel Zender "All About My Pal" on Maggie. Thanks to Frank Chimero and Joe Moccia for their submissions. Thank you to Dakota for his Dear Mulan poem. The TP Poll is over, 45,641 in favor of 'over the top' when placing a roll of toilet paper in the holder. R.I.P. Rosa Parks and our bandwidth limit.

Issue XIII, October 2005

Houston, We Have a 'zine. The space-themed issue featuring Chris' astronaut cover was a hot collectible. The beginning of the Great TP Debate. Sarah and Peter battle ledgers, and the return of the blog.

Issue XII, September 2005

It's Good To Know Your Beef. Design show at the Mudhouse.

Issue XI, August 2005

Some original illustrations by Dusty Campbell are included in this issue. This month, the boys write about their design show at the Mudhouse in Downtown Springfield.

Issue X, July 2005

Daniel Zender is back with a fury as he illustrates Peter and Chris in a little segment we like to call "How I Know..." Daniel would soon go on to illustrate a number of these. The one he did for Sadaam Hussein was never published.

Issue IX, June 2005

Kunal Goes to India. This issue was created with the generous help of Daniel Zender; in for the missing team member, Kunal. The center spread pictured above was created by none other than DZ himself.

Issue VIII. May 2005

Featuring Pete's infamous 'Drawing State Birds Made Easy.' Submissions from Chris Marino.

Issue VII, April 2005

This issue features Pete's collection of belt buckles, a submission from Alexander Strube, Chris Marino, and Dusty Campbell. R.I.P. Johnnie Cochran.

Issue VI, March 2005

Another page in color on the web ... whoops. Special thanks to Marina Cannon for donating a large book of clipart to the cause. Double submission from Chris Marino and a story by Ed Palermo, and a print from Lauren Spencer. R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson.

Issue V, February 2005

The first issue displayed in Flash! Easy loading or easy reading? You decide. For some reason there is also a page in color. Peter's famous Ex-Girlfriend double spread and a definition of mesothelioma.

Issue IV, November 2004

Peter writes an intro with double-spaces after every sentence, Josh Turk remodels the basement and becomes Assistant Director of Keeping It Real, Mickey submits a dual-spread collage, and Zoe Hawk submits her final page.

Issue III, October 2004

Readership increases. Or so it would seem. The boys introduce a contest to spot them on campus for a sizeable reward. No one participated. Kevin the Vegan Sez: "This cow is delicious. Don't eat meat." A submission from Zoe Hawk and a debut from Chris Marino with a recycled project submission.

Issue II, September 2004

This issue was printed on a vellum instead of wallpaper. After this issue, it would be 22 more issues before NGTH was printed on anything other than wallpaper. One more submission from Zoe Hawk, a word search from Sarah Outland, a photo from Lauren Spencer, and a list from Kevin Schopp.

Issue I, August 2004

Ah, Issue 1. An oldie but a goodie, as they say. Peter and Kunal put out the first and most important issue of Nicci Goes to Hollywood. At this point, they made the claim that they would attempt two issues per month. That quickly, and immediately ended. Enjoy the issue that started it all and the recipe for Death By Chocolate 3. Submissions from Zoe Hawk and Lauren Spencer.
