SurfToons #8, 3 of 3

You never know what will get the most hits. Sometimes it's only a few dozen and sometimes it's a few thousand. Since I started linking to this blog through social networks I've been getting a lot more. Last week, I got the second largest amount probably because I had early cartooning work in this magazine by Terry Gilliam. It can be found here. The previous part here has a strip by Gilbert Shelton. Now here the final part of Surf-Toons #8 from November 1967.

I didn't know last week but there a collection of Michael Dormer's strips that just came out from Fantagraphics.

Here's more of Surftoons #8 from November 1967, with artists who mostly didn't sign their first names so I couldn't find much about them. The previous excerpt is here.

Here's some of Terry Gilliam's earlier pre-Monty Python work.

SurfToons #8, 1 of 3

I think I posted issues of this before. It was part of the Petersen Publications family that included CARtoons, Hot Rod Cartoons, CycleToons, and Drag Cartoons. They were an outfit that published car magazines and because they were based in Los Angeles (they have a museum out there), they only used cartoonists from there, back when it was necessary to live near where you freelanced. This issue is from November 1967.

This piece is drawn by Gilbert Shelton. Before becoming an underground comics legend, he did a lot of work for them, Wonder Warthog was a main feature in Drag Cartoons and they published a magazine collecting his strips for them.
