This issue of The La-La Theory gives a list of words invented in 1880 like squatter, blizzard, blindfold, and cartoonist, and provides their etymology. The quarter sized, clip art filled zine is handwritten and filled with vintage photographs. On the back are facts about 1880, such as Helen Keller's birthday and Haegele's etymological source website (www.etymonline.com).

Work Description

This slight, fifteen page issue of The La- La Theory focuses on the author's childhood home and her love for history. Haegele reflects on the hundred years since the house was built in 1911 and how it influenced her interest in the early twentieth century. Haegele ends this zine by talking about the longevity of print and the importance of being able to archive evidence of past lives. The text of this zine is a portion of the author's full-length book Slip of the Tongue.
