The Calepino is a deep dive into a lingering thought or worry (a ‘calepino’ in Italian dialect). Each issue tackles a singular obsession in an unusual way that only comes from thinking about something for much too long.   Issue One (2022) is about feejee mermaids in general and the Banff Merman specifically. The 'zine is a small edition of 50 copies, with added objects and extras to make each copy unique.
