Disclose Notes: This book was a fundraiser for Knockabout Comics who were being taken to court at the time on charges of distributing obscene publications. This related to importing Robert Crumb comics. Every page was sponsored, and the sponsor's name is printed along the bottom of the page. Knockabout won the case, but costs were still large.
