I'd characterize this as fluff piece. It's from the Lewiston Tribune, April 15, 1991, five years after I stopped working at WSU. Lewiston, Idaho was not far from Pullman, home of Washington State University.
Notice the covers of then ultra rare titles Reader's Digest X and Ill Comics in the photo. It's also amusing that out all those titles to choose from the author highlighted One Normal Guy Talking With a Nut.
He also mentioned John E.'s hilarious President's Proctologist, one of my favorite comix of all time.
Why I didn't put the President's Proctologist in my WSU comics exhibit I will never know...
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to locate copies of Ill Comics and Readers Digest X for some time now. Do you happen recall the specifics of any of the contributing artists? As per a library search, I see that one Dan Hanrahan contributed to the latter, but I cannot seem to find him anywhere.
Best wishes,
V
For a complete list of artists in both comix I would suggest asking the WSU MASC librarians at their Ask a Question site:

As I recall none of the artists were well known outside of WSU.
