In Why Piss Piss Matters, Andy Brown does a deep dive into the zine, highlighting the unique way it bridged its French and English influences, creating an exciting space for creative exchange. Some of its early contributors who went on to illustrious careers include Kid Koala, Genevieve Castrée, Catherine Kidd, Heather O’Neill, and Jonathan Goldstein. Brown, who lived in Montreal during this period, offers an insider’s reflection on the cultural significance of the zine and its lasting legacy. He explores the history of various bohemian communities over the past 200 years, and Fish Piss’s singular role in that history.
