Basil Wolverton Show

Yesterday Leah and I travelled with our friends Ben and Laura down to Santa Ana through the post apocalyptic haze to set eyes upon MAD Magazine artist Basil Wolverton's show. I highly recommend this show to all cartoonists, animators, comic book artists and fans of those mediums. If you can't get there, be sure to pick up the The Original Art of Basil Wolverton by Last Gasp.

Check out this case filled with fantastic Wolverton schwagg! I especially love all the trading cards with bizarre and grotesque characters that have common names like 'Ron'.

Leah snapped this picture of me and artist Ben Tegel aka Baloney Boy in front of the gargantuan Wolverton head. You may also know Ben as the front man to LA's raw and rowdy rock n' roll band The Vacation.

Way to pimp Last Gasp, my friend. You guys should come up for their Burritos and Beer Xmas party this year...plenty of fun people to meet and the opportunity to browse Ron's oddities collection.
