it's (issue one)
DESCRIPTION
WELCOME to this, the first issue of “It’s”, a mini-magazine to showcase creator-owned comedy projects. I hope to bring your these little collections as often as I can. And that's what they are really, just little collections of "stuff"; jokes, sketches, short stories, cartoons, it's the bubble and squeak of Zines and I hope you enjoy it. For those of you who don't, for those of you who possibly get offended; I'm just an ex-con trying to go straight and get my kids back, forgive me, please? This edition is all me, but hopefully the next issue will have content from other contributors too. Feel free to drop me a message ([email protected]) with any submissions; the only criteria being it’s unpublished, original, short and funny.TRANSCRIPT

2. Dear Producers of Back To The Future.
I recently re-watched your 1985 smash hit and cult classic “Back
To The Future” with my little boy of twelve years. It took me
back to when I was that age, realising how much I loved that
film. However, I was struck by the ending. The scene when
Marty returns to the present to find his family are now different;
his Mother a physically fit woman, his Father a confident and
successful author and Biff, the family’s butler of sorts.
Why would George McFly want Biff to be his subordinate any-
way? He tried to rape your wife! Why would you want him
around Lorraine and the kids? “Oh, let’s punish Biff for trying to
date-rape Mum on prom night back in the fifties by getting him
to wash the fucking Jeep” - it doesn’t make sense, it’s not the
right message you should be sending out to children and it’s a
terrible ending to a movie. Biff should really do time in prison
and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Regards, E. Brown.
A: Sorry if I was Curt with you earlier.
B: Oh no, don’t worry. Really, it’s fine, I underst-

A baffled driver had her car covered
in tinned tomatoes in a series of
bizarre attacks which have been cap-

from Blackburn) has no idea why her
yellow Ford Ka is being targeted. In
a desperate attempt to capture the
suspect, she has now caught the cul-
prit on CCTV and is hoping it will
lead to his arrest. When asked about
the incident she responded with "I
really don't get it. I don't under-
stand it at all; they could've at
least opened the cans".

“A RANDOM JAMES BOND MOVIE”
MONDAY | ITV3 | 19:35
A raging alcoholic who possibly has
an addiction to sex and has a fixation
with killing people seemingly keeps
his illustrious government job without
there being a public investigation or tabloid interest.
The BBC have announced that they
are going to cover the cost of
providing free television licences
for the over-75s. When asked what
they would give-back in return,
old people responded with "A £1
coin taped inside a birthday card,
Werther's Original and knitwear"

Live from a stadium somewhere we

6. When she asked me if I'd prefer to have legs made of cheese or arms made of bacon I knew I want-
ed to move well-away from this woman. Clutching a weathered bag-for-life, Jan Cooper didn’t
break her vacant yet blistering stare while we waited for a break in the traffic. I knew her name was
Jan Cooper as that was the first thing she had said to me as she planted her Crocs adjacent to where
I was standing. As every metallic morsel meandered past us at an almost sarcastic pace I prayed to a
God I don't believe in that Jan Cooper wouldn't say another word to me. I pretended I didn't hear her
question and looked at the shiny-black screen that was balanced in my sweaty paw. A text, an email,
a Tinder match, hell, even a call from my network provider could save me from this strange woman.
Jan Cooper grabbed my arm and interrogated me more. "What would you prefer; legs made of
cheese or arms made of bacon?" - Jan Cooper's steamed-up bifocals looked up at me, a tuft of grey-
ing-ginger hair showing through the hood of her purple cagoule. "I have no idea" I lied, then gazed-
out at the sea of incoming cars that seemed never-ending. Jan Cooper's freckled hand was still chok-
ing my arm; it took a second too long for her to realise and recoil.
I pictured Jan Cooper being escorted out of a Superdrug for telling a woman in the tampon aisle that
she has Princess Diana's head in a lunchbox under her bed. Maybe sitting on a bus or in a doctor's
waiting room singing an acapella version of that “Happy” song by Pharrell. Or standing in her kitch-
en, trying to crack a coconut over a Foreman Grill while shouting the words "Damn you Mother, I
told you to stop buying these hairy eggs". All of this was speculation of cause, yet more than likely
true. My point is Jan Cooper was alien to me; strange, odd, unusual, peculiar, bizarre, weird, queer,
abnormal, unwell, out of the ordinary, out of sorts, out of this world, puzzling, mysterious, baffling,
irregular, deviant, freakish, surreal. Jan Cooper was different and I didn’t like it.
I saw a break in the traffic, it was nine cars away. I looked left to check I had a clean escape, when
Jan Cooper caught my eye. “You know there’s a zebra-crossing further up this road?” – the most
sane thing Jan Cooper had said to me within this two-minutes of mayhem. I smiled at her and re-
plied “Well, I hope he’s having better luck than we are” – Jan Cooper looked at me with a blank
stare. Shit, maybe I’m the weird one.
