Acido Surtido vs. Ti(n)am

The quirky poster-magazine Acido Surtido from Argentina has a new edition out called Extra which includes a copy of the "removed" Jonker's chapter from the latest This is a Magazine Compendium #5. For those unawares; a tiny b/w comic book "drooled" by the cult-like The Jonkers was produced for the 5th Compendium of This is a Magazine then "removed" and distributed in random locations around the world wide world. You will need to hunt down one of these mini-chapters in order to "complete" the Who I think I am compendium of This is (not) a Magazine. More locations to find this lost chapter and general blabla about this new compendium can be read on the dedicated interwebsite www.whoithinkiam.com
