Scan of a comic page by Lee Marrs: The Further Fattening Adventures of Pudge, Girl Blimp. Pudge is excited because she has her first date. She's living in a hippie commune and folks are arguing about food, then they are helping her get ready, then her date calls to set up the meet and she's off on her adventure. Very sweet.

Pic of comic book cover for Pudge #1, spread open so you can see the whole wrap around cover.

#LeeMarrs had some solid #cartooning chops. I had never seen this comic, but I did recently pick up a copy of one of the issues from #LastGasp. I love that she gives us a small view of life in a communal space and she references #AnnetteFunicello... who Marrs would have been exposed to all her life.

Pic of comic book Pudge. Impossible to type everything in here because there's so much happening. Basically Pudge, a charming fat girl, is walking through a wonderland of danger and intrigue as she comes into San Francisco for the first time. Drugs, sex, enlightenment!

Pic of the cover to Che: A Graphic Biography by Spain Rodriguez. Classic Che portrait, motorcycle in background. "Spain's take on Che is brilliant and radical." - Art Spiegelman.

Pic of hardback book Tortured Libido by Robert Williams. Crazy painting of a very weird dude with a bloody knife and knives everywhere and a road with headlights and some kind of energy field and a sky and body parts and my god this man is nuts.

Here's a few books I picked up recently from Last Gasp. I have plenty of comics to read in the coming weeks. #Comix #Comics #LastGasp #Che #RobertWilliams #Pudge #LeeMarrs
