“My parents thought comics lowered your intelligence and ruined your chances in life. They were absolutely right, as it turned out.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"mavides_shelton_amst\"<\/a>Legendary artist and cartoonist Paul Mavrides<\/a> joins the show to talk about Underground Comix, the Church of the SubGenius<\/a>, the Zapruder film, black mold, Idiots Abroad<\/a>, Richard Nixon’s threat on his life, and the time he traded an issue of Zap Comix<\/a> for a copy of Awake!<\/a>\u00a0Give it a listen!<\/a><\/p>\n

“These jam comics we did were like every cartoonist shining a thousand-watt light all at once into the reader’s brain.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We also talk about how he became a late addition to the Zap lineup, where his interest in conspiracy theories began, the time he and Gilbert Shelton tried to convince the manager of a Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers-themed Amsterdam bar that they were the cartoonists behind it, what 40+ years in San Francisco has been like, the time someone named-dropped him to himself, and more! Give it a listen!<\/a>\u00a0And become a patron of this podcast via Patreon<\/a> or Paypal<\/a> to get access to bonus conversation with Paul and a list of all the books we talked about.<\/p>\n
