Summary: "Howard Cruse has been celebrated as a pioneer of bringing the gay experience to the comics page, from his days as the first editor of the Gay Comicx Underground series, to his long-running strip Wendel, to his canon-worthy opus Stuck Rubber Baby. But over the course of his forty-year career, Cruse has waxed comedic on a much broader range of subjects, from the drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll days of the Underground to present times. Within this book you'll find Cruse's light-hearted Barefootz strips from the 1970s alongside biting political satire, his takes on Nancy and Little Lulu, his forays into surrealism, and his accounts of 'trips' taken by the iconoclastic sheep Shearwell--and himself. Most have been out of print for decades; many have never before been reprinted in book form."--P. [4] of cover.
