^^^
Ted Bundy - also born today, in 1946 - could have gone for The Festival of Light's anti-porn stance, just because that would have allowed him to evade all responsibility for his crimes. On the night before his execution he started blaming porn for everything he had done: but that was just another one of his diversions - it wasn't me! - since before then he had denied that had had had anything to do with the murders anyway, speaking of the murderer in the third person and casting his confession as speculation.

Damn - you beat me. Anyway: Gary Panter (born December 1, 1950) is a cartoonist, illustrator, painter, designer and part-time musician. Panter's work is representative of the post-underground, new wave comics movement that began with the end of Arcade: The Comics Revue and the initiation of RAW, one of the second generation in American underground comix. He has exhibited widely, and won three Emmy awards for his set designs for Pee-Wee's Playhouse. You and I, of course, know him mainly for the covers he did for the unauthorised releases of some late 70s WB Zappa albums, including this one:  Good albums, but not released in the form Frank wanted. |
