Week 6 Underground Comics

For underground comics, I read Dirty Duck that was published in the Mickey Mouse Airpirates funnies. It didn't say what year it was published but they talked about being on acid and talking about the war, I would say this was from the late 1960s to the early1970s. The illustrations are poorly executed and the graphic/text is very hard to read. However, that is the point. The Dirty Dick's name fixes well for this story because he is pretty raunchy and his behavior is very crude. The artist has included a lot of penis symbols that were not very settled. The storylines are very weak and don't really make a whole lot of sense, but he does make some references to events of that time. For example, he says his friend might get taken by the CIA. Nudity is there but not dominant. The duck always wants to have sex with the female characters even though he's older. I like the part was the music student hits the duck with a boxing glove for being a creep but that really doesn't stop him. He eventually wants to kill himself because he was rejected by the girl but he changes his mind in the end. I don't exactly understand why people liked or wanted to read these comics because the illustrations are bad and the writing/story is terrible. Many people like them because they are underground.
