The Underground Comics
June, 1998
Mainstream culture had Blondie and Dagwood, Pogo and Peanuts; the counterculture had Fritz the Cat, the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Feds 'N' Heads.Underground artists, including R. Crumb and Gilbert Shelton, were magnificently profane. Rabelaisian or just raunchy, titles such as Snatch Comics, Big Ass Comics and Jiz Comics gave us demented looks at sexual politics. Like Tijuana bibles in the Thirties, they provided us with an unauthorized biography of lust and love.
