     I conducted a content analysis of the zines I collected by using techniques of thematic analysis (Patton, 1990). I read and reread each of the zines’ contents. I annotated the prose, cartoons, poetry, and narratives in the zines by noting key words that signaled topics and assigning codes and subcodes that were later collapsed to form categories.
