Swingtown, Issues #1 and #2

Hey, Besties! I’m so excited to share that I have a new fan zine (my first!) for the 2008 TV show Swingtown. You may not remember this show (and that’s ok!) but I do(!!) and I’m here to indoctrinate you to the club.

Swingtown was created by Michael Kelley, an American writer and producer that worked on The O.C. and Providence. The show aired on CBS for one single, magical season in 2008. It starred Molly Parker and Jack Davenport as a married couple with children living in the Chicago suburbs in the summer of 1976. Their characters, Bruce and Susan, are approaching a time in their lives where, after marrying and starting a family very young, their children are self-sufficient and they finally have a moment for some self-reflection. Are they satisfied with their lives? Or, is there something missing? Let’s find out!

I’m going to recap each episode in a mini zine and send them out two at a time. If you’d like to read the first two issues, email your address to dingoxdonk at hey dot com. (I really need to find out if writing it out blocks the spam bots or not.)
