THE KING AD-ROCK -- STILL KING OF THE NAME-DROPS IN '90s HIP-HOP.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a promo Ad-Rock poster of the BEASTIE BOYS, from the September 1998 issue of "Spin" Magazine. Also featured here are late, greats dub reggae icon Lee "Scratch" Perry (✝) and American underground cartoonist Vaughn Bodē (✝). God rest them both.

This month in Bubbles Magazine you can find a roundtable discussion on underground comics in China! Orion and Xinmei from PS were joined by Olga and Qiliq from O.Q and Pigao from Yan Shu to discuss how the scene has been changing over the past few years. It's a pleasure to be part of Bubbles — an ongoing comics-focused zine that is literally bursting with content.

Image description: An interior spread of Bubbles, and a spread of the discussion. The zine is black and white, and the interior pages are full, almost all the way to the edges of the page, with text.

"Sim and Ger"

From the moment that I learned "Cerebus the Aardvark" was made by two guys named Sim and Ger, I couldn't get this idea out of my head.

That's Dave Sim and Gerhard, but no joke, everyone called him Ger for short.

So here we go again, October has rolled around and once more let us do a big ol' drawing prompt challenge thing. Doing @cartoonistkafabe 's Kayfabetober and having a go at a continuous through line. This time, Chris and Dave are off to The OctoCon! A big month long comic convention I just made up for this! Thought it'd make good practice for different things. Body-types, environments, props, what-have-you. Anyway, let's begin the nonsense.

Underground Comix All Star(s) was today's prompt and... let's talk about them. I know next to nothing about them. So, take the above dialogue with a pinch of salt. They were usually small, self-published ventures. Zap Comix and Oz were two titles I saw mentioned a lot when having a quick read up on it. Check out some Robert Crumb if you're curious. I might. Also the Rupert thing is apparently true. There was an obscenity trial and everything...

THE DREAMIEST CAN OF WHIP IN THE LAND -- "ANOTHER SLICK JOB BY R. CRUMB."

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1321x1791 -- Spotlight on a Mister Dream Whip Foiled Poster, 18” x 24” screen-printed foiled poster. Original artwork by Robert Crumb.

"OVERVIEW: "In 1969, on the cover of CREEM No. 2, we introduced Mister Dream Whip — a smiling, suggestive, (and totally PC) middle-finger to the stuffy LIFE Magazines populating the newsstand. Drawn by underground cartoonist R. Crumb, Mister Dream Whip was a hit. Now that we’re back, it seems appropriate to bring him out for an encore, on a limited-edition screen-printed foiled poster. Only 50 made!"

2) Of course, I can’t show you any of it at this stage— that would ruin the surprise!

Stick around. Things are gonna get weird! 🤘🖤
