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.

Editorial Cartoon of the Day















I'm submitting this to the local fishwrap, which is now running a "Cartoons to the Editor" feature.

Still have a little work to do on it, but wanted to see what it looked like on the intertubes...

Big Daddy!

Some pages from a bootlegged copy of a coloring book the great CAR-toonist Big Daddy Ed Roth did back in the 60s...




















Classic Big Daddy. The Chevy-Ford wars were big in those days.





















Love the engine on this one - and the flames coming out of the side exhaust tubes.





















Roth takes a shot at the skateboarding craze.





















The ultimate Roth creation. Go, Daddy, go!
