These photographs were taken in the early seventies at the Rip Off Press, the publisher of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, Dealer McDope, Dopin' Dan, Motor City Comix and a number of other “comix” by such artists as Gilbert Shelton, Dave Sheridan, Ted Richards, Robert Crumb, Jack Jackson (Jaxon), Larry Gonick and many another when I was their weekly newspaper syndicate manager and the editorial director of the Rip Off Review of Western Culture.
I'd bought a 35mm camera and a decent used f 2.8 105mm lens when starting the magazine and shot these haphazardly as the mood struck. I wish I'd continued, just as I wish I'd continued shooting, developing and printing my own photographs after my early high school years. Such is life.
