Basil Wolverton is one of the most original and funniest cartoonists of all time. He invented this crazy gross but cute style that no one has ever topped. He inspired the gross closeups in Ren and Stimpy and lots of 60s cartoonists, including R. Crumb. He was also a preacher!
You have to see his art in the flesh!

We went on a trek to Santa Ana last Saturday to see his wonderful stuff.

Of course Kali and Eddie just had to get some free ground pig faces nearby.



Basil predicted Eddie.




The show is free, but you'll want to pick up a really great book on Basil's work while you're there.
