Extended Practice: making a publication?

I still feel sort of uneasy about comic/ zine culture in general as in, I'm not sure how I much I enjoy it personally. But there's exceptions to everything, and I'm nowhere near about to dismiss it all as something not for me. I particularly love what I've read by Disa Wallander, Sophia Foster-Domino, Sam Alden, Jillian Tamaki, Jane Mai... there's a certain balance and nuance to their comics that still reads emotional without being so ... navel-gaze-y as I've seen in some comics. But they're also often funny! Which is good!

Which brings me to making a publication myself! I have no idea where to start, but know I would like to make one for Thoughtbubble as I was offered a spot on a table! I haven't worked on narrative since Visual Narrative, and I need to do some thinking on that. This Extended Practice brief is maybe much more about it being an opportunity/ challenge that has been given to me than it being something I would usually consider as part of my practice.
