An Historic Moment in Dirty Fucking Hippie-dom

In 1975, legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb published a piece entitled "Let's Talk Sense About This Here Modern America" in a magazine called "Arcade." In it, along with his usual rants about the decline and fall of the U.S. of A., he brought up a topic that not that many people thought about back then: global warming.




You can see the full page where he talks about it here.

Funny how a dirty fucking hippie knew about this 32 years ago, but the ever-so-smart luminaries of the conservative movement are still pretending it doesn't exist.

Hi Dave TM C!
You know of course it was your tip that got me interested in this whole thing. I've been working on it like crazy. I've been working with The folks at Petconnection, itchmo, petfoodtracker, petsitUSA and Howl911.
Are great people. BTW, Sen. Durbin's office has been great on this issue too.

Thanks for sending me the link and getting me interested!

The ozone hole produced by CFCs like freon is a different problem from Global Warming. So R. Crumb isn't discussing Global Warming -- he's discussing the ozone hole.
