Great Classix Of Literature Out Th' Ass Dept.

Zap Comix ran for seventeen issues over forty-six years. Do the math. That's two hundred and seventy issues a year [huh? - Ed.], the longest run of any (finger-waggle) underground comic.

It changed a lot in those years. We all did. From the early Crumb-led issues featuring cutesy-wootsie widdle animals delivering folksy moral homilies for the under-fives, the magazine was soon bought out by Condé Nast, who turned it into the sumptuous bible of elegant lifestyle familiar from your orthodontist's waiting room!

We're rebuilding the False Memory Foam© Library Of Books™ in an underwater dome just off Baitshop Bay here on th' Isle O' Foam, and this legacy collection is first up on the shelves!

    1. Dis is a great response from a thinkin'-type individual, and gots me to thinkin' meself. Mebbe my largesse is a tad too large. Mebbe th' Library O' Books™ should be open to members only, keep out th' freeloadin bums. So if youse want to be a member of dis hi-toned licherary establishmink, leave a comment. Dat will keep out th' freeloadin' joiks!

  9. My personal motto has always been (ala Groucho), I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member. I guess there are exceptions to every rule.
