I believe the proper response would be to declare the election was rigged.

This is actually the funniest of the undergrounds from this period. Some shocking political incorrectness, but done playfully without any mean-spiritedness.

Definitely a "pure id" orgy of self-indulgence. Wild stuff.

An early creation by the later creator of CHERRY POP-TART Larry Weltz.


All three issues are online now to read.
I'm glad, this is one of the wildest underground comics, often hilarious, and fun reading.

CAPTAIN GUTS

Only Robert Crumb's work matches Larry Welz's stuff, in its absolute lack of any restraint whatsoever.
To me, these are the purest essence of what underground comics are about. at least the largest school of creators in underground comics.

The other schools of thought in 1960's-1970's undergrounds are :
2) uncensored horror in the EC tradiion, such as SKULL COMICS.
And
3) Emboldened by a lack of censorship, the aspiration to tell more meaningful stories, in historical works and social commentary, such as Jaxon's COMANCHE MOON, LOS TEJANOS, and SLOW DEATH work.

A few years later in 2011, wih a lot more detail.
I don't recognize this one, so maybe done for an annual convention sketchbook, and/or maybe a variant cover.
