Bought some books....

Fat Freddy's Cat Omnibus by Gilbert Shelton
Which is the companion volume to



Both of which contain comic strips that were ur-texts for my generation. Which Freak Brothers character were you?

I also picked up this

This Is Your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin
which I can heartily recommend.

And this



Which is volume two of an history of erotic comics from the 70's onwards. The earlier stuff like the various cheaply produced Tijuana Bibles was covered in volume one.
