1. Yep dope will get you through

times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope.
I've got a pretty complete collection, alas, they're all reprints, the first editions led awfully hard lives.

2. What exactly is a sixties person?

I was alive the sixties but don't consider myself a sixties person.

Please clarify how one defines themselves as a sixties person.

Thanks!

[demnan]

7. A sixties person

is a person who came to awareness during the sixties, may have smoked a little dope, done a little Vietnam protesting, likes sixties music and more. Basically you have to be one to know one.

[candy]

10. Came to awareness of what? Not being difficult here,just curious.n/t

[Karenina]

22. If you need to ask

you were prolly in nappies! :evilgrin:

[candy]

24. I was married with 5 kids in nappies and I still don't get the

sixties thing----with the exception of Viet Nam and Civil Rights it was just a bunch of college kids acting out,which all college kids do from every generation.Most of the kids that skipped class and demonstrated could have cared less about the important issues of the time.

The sixties is a myth by folks who were young in the sixties,no more,no less.The folks who said "never trust anyone over thirty" are approaching 60.

[Karenina]

26. With 5 kids

you couldn't have gotten out too much. :( THAT is a LOT of SERIOUS WORK! :hug: There was a sense of empowerment, a challenge to think outside of the box. But ALL history is myth, eh? :evilgrin:

[FuzzySlippers]

3. Nope.

[McKenzie]

[Sequoia]

6. I still have a couple of their comic books!

Fat Freddie's Cat too!

[bearfan454]

8. Where's Fat Freddy ?

[MadHound]

11. I'm reminded of R. Crumb everyday

There is a woman at work who looks like she just stepped out of one of his comics. Kinda weird.

[mike_c]

12. yep-- I was a big fan of the freak bros....

Now you've got me searching for some of my other old favorites, like Wyatt Winghead.

[On the Road]

13. The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers?!!

of my VW Micro Bus..

[Dzimbowicz]

18. Thanks for the memories !

It was a good way to end the day. :smoke:

[ironflange]

21. I used to read them when I was about 11

Older sister would bring home comix, and I'd sneak them to read. I loved the FFFB, especially that damn cat.

[Megahurtz]

23. Is this the "Keep On Truckin'" guy?

Where's his other boots?

[charlyvi]

25. No. The "Keep on Truckin' " guy was R. Crumb.

He also did Janis Joplin's Big Brother and the Holding Company album art. Ah, sweet memories!

[dbt]

27. One time for Shelton's Wonder Wart-Hog!

aka Philbert Desanex, meek, mild reporter for the Muthalode Morning Mungpie!
