1. Putting the ‘x-rated’ in comics: Underground Comix "Underground comics were more like art and less like comics.” Gilbert Shelton “ In those days who among us knew we were creating “Art”? Certainly not those of us creating it. In fact, as far as we were concerned, these little comic books we cranked out were anti-Art. Not canvasses on a gallery wall viewed by the few, but an ephemeral sheath of newsprint to be read on the toilet and discarded... All we really had in mind was youthful anarchistic fun. And to establish a forum where we could give the finger to the established authorities and moon the vapid Art world, to display a wanton and unbecoming lack of propriety by way of our untrained comix and to release a pathogen targeting the orthodox.” Skip Williamson http://open.salon.com/blog/snappy_sam/2009/04/10/the_birth_of_underground_comix S.
