edited and designed by Alban Fischer

Trnsfr returns with a big, fat issue of weirdness and wonder. There’s metadata-enhanced glue, hula hoop licking, Keef Richards, and big men named Squeaky. But you might be wondering, are there two chihuahuas tearing apart Emperor Zurg, crying-as-involuntary-prayer, and nine wigs in a Mason jar (+ ants)? Rejoice, Reader—there is! As well as driving like a fucking idiot, being the right kind of injured, and the Top Ten Hottest Grandmistresses! Relax, we got you, this next issue will be out soon.
