Plot
1968 was a pivotal year in American History. In the San Francisco Bay area what happened in the Haight Ashbury & Berkeley helped shape that history. A small group of young artists then used the genre of “Comix” to reflect the dramatic changes within what was called “ The Youth Movement” and “The Sexual Revolution”.The founding of Yellow Dog Comix in 1968 helped launch a feature of “ The Undergound Press Syndicate” whose bold imagery was shared world wide to millions. Founders Robert Crumb, Joel Beck and John Thompson were the central contributors to the first issues of this “comix,” published by Don & Alice Shenker's Print Mint in Berkeley.ZAP and YELLOW DOG launced a “hippy” art movement that over the next five years included hundreds of strange titles and often bizarre pages of hand drawn and hand lettered panels. Nearly fifty years later their images still reflect those tumultuous times- in its many fascinating aspects.
