| Barefootz ended its Crimson-White run when Despina finished her term as editor, but I found a new home for it in a new Birmingham underground paper called The Alternate, for which I also did layouts and spot art. In 1972 I bundled together a bunch of these Barefootz strips and sent them to Denis Kitchen, publisher of the newly-emergent comix company Kitchen Sink Comix.
Denis was attuned to my sense of humor and inserted several of the early Barefootz strips into the fourth issue of Snarf. He also incouraged me to draw new Barefootz material expressly for the comic book format. Shortly thereafter my first "real" Barefootz comic book story appeared in Commies From Mars #1. (Because lots of copies were destroyed in a warehouse fire, surviving copies of this issue of CFM are especially rare.) |
