This has always been my favourite Hunt Emerson strip.
I enjoy your blog and really should try to comment more often. – we have similar collections and interests, but you still manage to come up with a few gems I’ve not seen before (or can’t remember, more like!).
Hi Dave. I should try and comment more often too but I’m not that organised and am juggling so many things at the moment that this blog basically happens in my tea break.
The above strip from Hunt Emerson appeared on the back cover of Knockabout Comics No 3 circa 1980 but I’m sure it appeared somewhere else much earlier. And I’m sure it must be a homage to a similar Robert Crumb strip but like I say I’m not organised enough to check through my back-issues.
Anyway its always good to hear from someone else with good taste in comix…….
I apologise for the increasingly intrusive adverts here. They are inserted by WordPress.com not me. I can only remove them if I upgrade from this free site to a paid plan. That's something I'm not inclined to do at this stage now the site is only visited by you and a handful of others who also have impeccable taste.
