mag! Yes, thats right, Jacks shit. It was hard getting it, and
even harder trying to get it in here. Boy, did he jump! : Well
as the name hints, this mag is total utter nonsense. Nothing
that makes any sense, nothing that really matters, and nothing
that you could learn from. Well, unless youre really a stupid
pile of mucus. Then, you can learn something! This mag is in a
big huge fucker of a text file. And yes, this is what it was
supposed to look like, and yes, this is the way it will always be
released. What? Why not code it? Because I dont want it coded!
If you want a coded Emag, make one! Yeah, you tell em!...
Some background.... its black. Plain black. Theres some
white writing...but the background remains black....black is such
a cool colour! I mean, dont you just love how black afros shine

rains? Or even better! When gum gets stuck in them, and your head
looks like a big pile of goop! Woo hoo! Afros are so fun to play

1. You need a fro! Yeah YOU! THE ONE READING THIS! STOP
POINTING AT YOURSELF DAMMIT! For then, you could fully
understand the power of the Afro. The power that Ive
felt, the power that Ive used.
Note: 4thds never felt power, all he got from having a
fro was laughs. They all laughed at him, they all took
turns beating him. They all shared in shaving his head
bald. 4thds doesnt have an afro no longer...watch out
for his new mag called: baldOzine. - unknown writer
Note2: I may not have an afro anymore.... but hey, its
ok. I can now get started on mah jerry curls! Woo!
a,. .,a
.,aVirtual Artista,.
a,. .,a
Tired of begging artists for peices of work which were
promised to you 5 months ago? Tired of asking for a free ansi or
vga? Well here it is! Virtual Artist! Yes, thats right, now
you too can be the artist that you look up to! This program
requires THEGRAB.EXE It came with your THEDRAW. Heres what
you do, logon to some wicked-ass-elite board that has a million
ansis. Now press Ctrl-RShift! Good! Now drop into dosshell,
go into THEDRAW or ACiDDRAW or ARTWORX or anything else that draws
ansi. Now load the file with the extension 000. Whoa! Its the
same pic! Now edit it, erase the artists name, change some of the
colours and yes, dare I say it? Add some high ascii lettering!!!!!
But the fun doesnt end there! Now you have a copy of that
ansi that you begged for, and you didnt have to send any money for
it at all! Hahaha! You can now make a group that just does this,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week! You too can be elite! Now for a
name for your group..... how about something weird... like
Frignitz? Its almost a swear word. It has that z sound like
wArEz. Ok, now you are an artist and you have your very own
group! Time to get onto IRC and let the world know that you are
here, and now they all have a reason to fear you.
You logon and get into IRC chat with some guy named 4thDrk.
He starts yelling at you for some odd reason, calling you names
like shiznit, punkasswannabe, and monkeychild.. whats this
guys problem? Who is he? And why is he so upset? WAKE UP FUCKER!
YOU JUST RIPPED ONE OF HIS ANSIS! You soon realize that this whole
Virtual Artist thing is a bit overrated. And that its really
not all that great. You decide to leave the ansi scene for a bit,
maybe come back later when you actually learn to draw ansi, and
think of an alias that doesnt have the words death, fire, or evil
in it. Your group of ansi ripping scum doesnt understand whats
going on, and they all blame you. You get blacklisted, purplelisted
and even yellow polka dot listed.... That 4thDrk guy is still
yelling at you while all of this is going on, and you dont know how
to make him stop! So you turn your computer off hoping that when
you turn your computer back on that he wont be there....
As the days pass text files are released about how lame you
are, and how you shouldnt be allowed on any board... What do you
do now? All you did was take 100 ansis and release them as your
own. Not like you did anything wrong... oh well, maybe this whole
ansi thing isnt as wonderful as everyone said. This signals the
end of you short-lived ansi career.... but thats ok! You still
have vga, ascii, rip, and literature!!! Woo!

For as long as I can remember, our areacode has been fortunate
enough to have an abundance of artists. In Canada, we may just be
the best when it comes to the number of artists. Another areacode
worth mentioning would be the 604, out in B.C., as well as the 514.
When there are a ton of artists, there are a ton of groups,
and this a/c is no different. We have our numerous groups, and we
have our numerous unknowns. This article will help to introduce
you, the reader to our a/c.
Dark Illustrated: Dark has always been a major force in this a/c.
Multi-Media Most of the group is based within the area, and
most of the artists have known each other for
months, if not years. The only local group
that has stood the test of time. Dark could
also be considered one of the original,
alternative groups. Alternative to the
bigger groups. Union, Cia, and Nation would be
2 more alternative groups. Hence a motto,
truely deserving The Originals of The
Originators . Dark has always strayed away
from the crowd, and now is no different.
Trauma: Trauma was actually renamed from Bleach. Yes,
Multi-Media unkown to alot of you, Bleach was shortly run
Updated: by a local after Lord Jazz gave it up. After
merger the death of the group, a local, Holocaust
approached Lord Jazz for the group. After
taking over, he realized that he didnt have
the time for the group. Another local, Fresh,
took over. He then renamed Bleach to Trauma
and set out on a new path. This group has
potential, and if matured right, could show
us somethings.
As I was writing this, a merger has come about.
Trauma has been swallowed by Weed Imagery. Now
I dont know anything about this new group,
other than the name Weed Imagery will remain.
Plain: Toon 2? Well maybe not. But yes, WatOr, the
Multi-Media one who was responsible for the Toon craze that
swept alot of us during the Summer is back!
Plain, is not a Toon group, but a group that
takes everything. When WatOr is behind a group
it should be noted that, that group does well.
This group is no exception, WatOr knows how to
run a group, and he knows whats involved. With
3 strong releases under its belt, Plain looks
like something very special. Its a group that
will make you say wOah! :
Well, that does it for the local scene, there are still numerous
groups that werent mentioned. But thats because I didnt know if
you were still alive or what.
a,. .,a
.,a afrOmeet a,.
a,. .,a
Yes, thats right an afrOmeet. It seems that alot of the local
artists have gotten to know each other over the phone, BBSes and the
Internet, but have never actually met. Well, thats gonna change,
for all that are interested in this BBS meet please get in touch with
with either me or El Guapo Legend.
The meet will take place in a Pool Hall, in Brampton Ontario.
Bring dah herbs, bring dah booze, bring dah chicks. And dont worry
I wont have my fro in effect! : The date for this meet will be
sometime in January or February, depending on when the majority of the
people wanna hold it. If this sounds cool, email me and well get
things sorted. As well, if you need a ride or something, I can try
and find you one. Depending on where abouts you live.
a,. .,a
.,a Little pOOg a,.
a,. .,a
We all grow up knowing people that are a bit weird. Well,
this is the story of one of those weirdos. Little pOOg was about
16 when he realized that his calling was computers. Hed never
been good at anything in his life, except computers. Somehow he
was able to master something, that he didnt quite understand.
Little pOOg faced many different types of abuse during his 16
years of growing up verbal, physical, mental. He had seen it
all. Yet computers were his way out of this abusive world. He
had found a friend in his Pentium Pro. And now he didnt need
anyone else. As the months passed pOOg got closer to his computer
sometimes even forgetting to eat or sleep, just to get that 0 day
ware, just to put together that ansi pack before the deadline. To
him this was what it was all about. Being on top, for once in his
pathetic life.
But one day things took a turn for the worse. A package was
delivered to his front door step. This unmarked box was attached
to a letter which read: pOOg , but how? Why? Who? Before
any of these questions could be answered the package was already
openned. Inside pOOg found a new CD for his CD-ROM..... there was
a label on it Risk it all, and never look back....for if you
dont have faith you will never survive. This was odd, but for
pOOg nothing clicked. So he inserted the CD, almost overcome with
anticipation. As it was loaded, pOOg noticed a distinct odour....
Shit, hed forgot to use his anti-persperant again... eeeeewww...
The smell was getting to him. Before he knew it he was knocked out
on the middle of the floor. As he gained conscienceness, it was
all too clear to him. His life had been a sham. He wasnt just a
regular kid with a computer, he was pOOg, the smelloman! It
was his job to save all computer geeks everywhere! He would make
a land where the geeks would roam free!
pOOg the Smelloman would be the planets newest superhero! The
voice of the nerdy guy! Just then, his computer spoke. Hello,
pOOg, this is your computer Pant-ee-yum speaking. You have been
chosen for this hero position because of your speed in warez, your
skill in ansi, and your eliteness. pOOg didnt know what to say,
he went from geek to supergeek in no time! He was now a hero, but
who to save? And from what?
Before he could finish pondering all of these thoughts a news
flash interuppted his favorite show: The Honeymooners . The
news said: Warning, Jerry-Curl has just escaped from Kingston
penatentury. He is considered armed and dangerous! . This was
what he was chosen for! Jerry-Curl, the lunatic who was responsible
for ruining the Afros of tens of thousands by adding Jerry Curl
juice to them was now running rampant once more! pOOg knew the
hardships of growing an afro. He had spent 10 long hard years trying
to perfect his afro. And now, it was at its peak!
All of a sudden Pant-ee-yum screamed an alert, Jerry-Curl had
been seen down the block, he was going to Curl all of the citys
afros! pOOg the Smelloman had to save the city from this evil being!
But how? Jerry-Curl was notorious for his Jerry-Curls, and one could
slime you with a touch. Just then, Jerry-Curl crashed through the
window, scaring the shit outta pOOg. pOOg was so shocked from this
surprise attack that he fainted stupid computer geeks always faint
at everything. As he awoke, he saw a big Jerry-Curl-Juice applier
pointing at his wonderful afro! He was tied! What would he do?
Tune in for the exciting conclusion of Little pOOg! Next time in
afrOzine! Same afrOchannel! Same afrOzine! Will pOOg the
Smelloman survive? Youll have to wait until the next ish!

For as long as I can remember, our areacode has been fortunate
enough to have an abundance of artists. In Canada, we may just be
the best when it comes to the number of artists. Another areacode
worth mentioning would be the 604, out in B.C., as well as the 514.
When there are a ton of artists, there are a ton of groups,
and this a/c is no different. We have our numerous groups, and we
have our numerous unknowns. This article will help to introduce
you, the reader to our a/c.
Dark Illustrated: Dark has always been a major force in this a/c.
Multi-Media Most of the group is based within the area, and
most of the artists have known each other for
months, if not years. The only local group
that has stood the test of time. Dark could
also be considered one of the original,
alternative groups. Alternative to the
bigger groups. Union, Cia, and Nation would be
2 more alternative groups. Hence a motto,
truely deserving The Originals of The
Originators . Dark has always strayed away
from the crowd, and now is no different.
Trauma: Trauma was actually renamed from Bleach. Yes,
Multi-Media unkown to alot of you, Bleach was shortly run
Updated: by a local after Lord Jazz gave it up. After
merger the death of the group, a local, Holocaust
approached Lord Jazz for the group. After
taking over, he realized that he didnt have
the time for the group. Another local, Fresh,
took over. He then renamed Bleach to Trauma
and set out on a new path. This group has
potential, and if matured right, could show
us somethings.
As I was writing this, a merger has come about.
Trauma has been swallowed by Weed Imagery. Now
I dont know anything about this new group,
other than the name Weed Imagery will remain.
Plain: Toon 2? Well maybe not. But yes, WatOr, the
Multi-Media one who was responsible for the Toon craze that
swept alot of us during the Summer is back!
Plain, is not a Toon group, but a group that
takes everything. When WatOr is behind a group
it should be noted that, that group does well.
This group is no exception, WatOr knows how to
run a group, and he knows whats involved. With
3 strong releases under its belt, Plain looks
like something very special. Its a group that
will make you say wOah! :
Well, that does it for the local scene, there are still numerous
groups that werent mentioned. But thats because I didnt know if
you were still alive or what.
a,. .,a
.,a afrOmeet a,.
a,. .,a
Yes, thats right an afrOmeet. It seems that alot of the local
artists have gotten to know each other over the phone, BBSes and the
Internet, but have never actually met. Well, thats gonna change,
for all that are interested in this BBS meet please get in touch with
with either me or El Guapo Legend.
The meet will take place in a Pool Hall, in Brampton Ontario.
Bring dah herbs, bring dah booze, bring dah chicks. And dont worry
I wont have my fro in effect! : The date for this meet will be
sometime in January or February, depending on when the majority of the
people wanna hold it. If this sounds cool, email me and well get
things sorted. As well, if you need a ride or something, I can try
and find you one. Depending on where abouts you live.

.,a Little pOOg a,.
a,. .,a
We all grow up knowing people that are a bit weird. Well,
this is the story of one of those weirdos. Little pOOg was about
16 when he realized that his calling was computers. Hed never
been good at anything in his life, except computers. Somehow he
was able to master something, that he didnt quite understand.
Little pOOg faced many different types of abuse during his 16
years of growing up verbal, physical, mental. He had seen it
all. Yet computers were his way out of this abusive world. He
had found a friend in his Pentium Pro. And now he didnt need
anyone else. As the months passed pOOg got closer to his computer
sometimes even forgetting to eat or sleep, just to get that 0 day
ware, just to put together that ansi pack before the deadline. To
him this was what it was all about. Being on top, for once in his
pathetic life.
But one day things took a turn for the worse. A package was
delivered to his front door step. This unmarked box was attached
to a letter which read: pOOg , but how? Why? Who? Before
any of these questions could be answered the package was already
openned. Inside pOOg found a new CD for his CD-ROM..... there was
a label on it Risk it all, and never look back....for if you
dont have faith you will never survive. This was odd, but for
pOOg nothing clicked. So he inserted the CD, almost overcome with
anticipation. As it was loaded, pOOg noticed a distinct odour....
Shit, hed forgot to use his anti-persperant again... eeeeewww...
The smell was getting to him. Before he knew it he was knocked out
on the middle of the floor. As he gained conscienceness, it was
all too clear to him. His life had been a sham. He wasnt just a
regular kid with a computer, he was pOOg, the smelloman! It
was his job to save all computer geeks everywhere! He would make
a land where the geeks would roam free!
pOOg the Smelloman would be the planets newest superhero! The
voice of the nerdy guy! Just then, his computer spoke. Hello,
pOOg, this is your computer Pant-ee-yum speaking. You have been
chosen for this hero position because of your speed in warez, your
skill in ansi, and your eliteness. pOOg didnt know what to say,
he went from geek to supergeek in no time! He was now a hero, but
who to save? And from what?
Before he could finish pondering all of these thoughts a news
flash interuppted his favorite show: The Honeymooners . The
news said: Warning, Jerry-Curl has just escaped from Kingston
penatentury. He is considered armed and dangerous! . This was
what he was chosen for! Jerry-Curl, the lunatic who was responsible
for ruining the Afros of tens of thousands by adding Jerry Curl
juice to them was now running rampant once more! pOOg knew the
hardships of growing an afro. He had spent 10 long hard years trying
to perfect his afro. And now, it was at its peak!
All of a sudden Pant-ee-yum screamed an alert, Jerry-Curl had
been seen down the block, he was going to Curl all of the citys
afros! pOOg the Smelloman had to save the city from this evil being!
But how? Jerry-Curl was notorious for his Jerry-Curls, and one could
slime you with a touch. Just then, Jerry-Curl crashed through the
window, scaring the shit outta pOOg. pOOg was so shocked from this
surprise attack that he fainted stupid computer geeks always faint
at everything. As he awoke, he saw a big Jerry-Curl-Juice applier
pointing at his wonderful afro! He was tied! What would he do?
Tune in for the exciting conclusion of Little pOOg! Next time in
afrOzine! Same afrOchannel! Same afrOzine! Will pOOg the
Smelloman survive? Youll have to wait until the next ish!
