1968 is over 50 years ago. As a 1961 vintage person, 50 years back was pre WW1.
the past is another country. They do things very differently in Fritz the cat's time. I don't think you could publish that now.
- Joeboy 2y ago> I don't think you could publish that now Maybe you'd struggle to get widespread (physical) distribution, or to build an audience, or to make a living off it. I don't think anybody would stop you printing it, or take down your website or whatever. It wasn't mainstream or uncontroversial in the '60s either.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoWally Wood did "The Disneyland Memorial Orgy" (Google it) around the same time. I'm pretty sure it was banned (not anymore, as that Google It will show).
- jb1991 2y agothere are plenty of things published today that push boundaries in the same way
- bazoom42 2y ago> I don't think you could publish that now. What would prevent you from publishing something like that today?
- leoc 2y agoIt's not merely that 50 years is a long time. There's a profound cultural watershed between the Before Times, the overcontrolled, neurotic world of roughly up to the late '60s, and the narcissistic/sociopathic world of today. Robert Crumb, and the whole Crumb family, embody that change in an unusually extreme way.
