I do enjoy a good curmudgeon. A good artistic iconoclast. A ribald contrarian goat who has no fucks to give and makes interesting, if perhaps troubling creations. Chalk it up to my lifelong love of underground comics (comix) and outsider art.

I do not have many good things to say of art that isn't outsider. I tend to shrug and move along, rather than bashing. but gimme those warts and ugly bastards any day over a sanitized, safe piece of junk.

Prepping for next week's interview with 1970s underground comix icon Barbara "Willy" Mendes. She's returned to comics with Red 5 Comics to release her autobiographical "Queen of the Cosmos Comix." We're excited to chat with Barbara about indie comics then and now! So if you could ask an originator of indie comics anything, what would you ask?

Got a chance to check out Brian Doherty instagram.com/dirtypicturesboo discuss his Dirty Pictures book tonight.
That was pretty dope and brought back so many memories of what those underground artist left for us that were coming of age reading some of their works.

One of the fierce godmothers of autobiographical comix, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, has passed on. The link goes to a sample of her work, lampooning β€œthe former guy” in an inky conversation with her husband. nybooks.com/online/2020/06/11/
