I'm going to that when I'm there. I have a bunch of old 'Drag Cartoons' with the original WWHog stories. And Fat Freddy's cat. The ultimate bad kitty. Yes!

Gilbert Shelton is THE original source.

I hope they don't screw up the animated Freak Bros.

Me Paul Imagine, Farley, and Perkins visited this show.
It is thee best art show I have seen all year. Insane originals his detail and hatching is jaw dropping. Unbelievable that I caught it. I dont think I will see his originals again anytime soon. So a huge thanks goes to Perkins for letting us in.

It is thee best art show I have seen all year.

...And this was after Flatstock and after seeing the Hatch show...that's saying something. Pretty inspiring, especially for an illustrator. After so many years, to see all those original drawings in the same room was amazing. I'm told it was the most successful show we've had there, with a line around the block for the signing/meet & greet.

No doubt. that day was one inspirational day.
