“When did you first become aware of this imagined ‘plot to get you?’”
Or, as they said after Ruby Ridge, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean that they are not out to get you.”
Gahan Wilson (no relation to Ruby Ridge) has a new 3 volume collection of his Playboy cartoons hot off the presses.
Wilson will be the guest star for the Small Press Expo – the leading gathering of independent cartoonists in the nation – this weekend in Bethesda, MD. This shindig is full of subversive vitality and political creativity and well worth the admission price of $10.
Man, I love that stuff. National Lampoon also used to publish Wilson’s stuff and I had Pocket Book collections of his cartoons, too.
It’s amazing that I don’t have a twisted sense of humor after consuming all of those comics. It was probably all the Charles Addams and Gary Larson comics that kept me in check.
Wilson’s work is like catnip. You see a little bit of it – and it makes you want to see volumes and volumes.
Sam Gross is another cartoonist who provides a good antidote to daily life – even to the Washington Post….
