Tuli Kupferberg - Outsider Cartoonist

The term "outsider artist" or "outsider musician" refers to someone who's active in art or music, but defies the established convention.

Well, I claim the term "outsider cartoonist" - and I nominate Tuli Kupferberg. He was active in lots of areas - Beat poet, musician (The Fugs), activist, movie actor (kind-of), publisher etc. etc.

Come to think of it, he lived his whole life as an outsider.

Here's one of his cartoons from a 1981 collection "After the Ball Are Ova".

Its interesting to note just how many different publications he submitted his work to - some of his other collections list over 25 publications.

Anyway....this one made me laugh.
