I forgot which issue it was in (and I'm not at home to check), but that was from "Weirdo", which puts it sometime in the mid-80's, I'm guessing.
there is--it's called Gnosticism. Wierd, heady stuff.
You never saw that before, Paul?
I was hoping they'd have pages from that at the Frye, but no.
Not Dick Crum? No Balkies at the Stranger I guess.

That's so weird - I just read that comic yesterday because it was linked from J. Wood's Lost blog. That is some trippy stuff.
LOST fans who read Dick's novel VALIS got an extra kick out of last night's episode. Also, a Slaughterhouse 5 reference for good measure.
hey, at least they have a decent amount of of Weirdo-era Crumb at the Frye. I'm not sure, but it seems like maybe a page or two of the Dick story was in the way-back Misfit Lit show at COCA when it was downtown, in, um, 1991?
Paul, that story was from Weirdo and appears in the Complete Crumb Comics Vol. 16. It's a classic from his brief brush period in the early-1980s. Another similarly great story from this period is the "Jelly Roll Morton's Voodoo Curse" which appears in its entirety at the Frye.
