I had the chance to spend two class sessions with 35 undergraduates whose final project was to create a social-justice–themed zine on a topic of their choice. To warm them up for the second session, I led a series of quick drawing exercises that culminated in an eight-minute challenge: making a zine about a food truck they will never own. The results were impressive—students were amazed by how much they accomplished, how much they learned, and how much fun they had in a library in such a short time.

Because I wanted to make my own 8 minute zine, I created Moon Fries.
