Wally Wood’s parody as a centerspread for his satirical magazine, The
Realist, and then as a black-&-white poster. Now here it is, available again, the
original poster on high-quality paper, digitally colored by an ex-Disney employee,

Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut:
Misadventures in the Counterculture
by Paul Krassner New Expanded Edition
Extra chapter: Bloopers & Outtakes: The Parts
Left Out of This Book.
I have been a fan of his since I was a snot-nosed kid, and his
words have been a driving force and influence on my life. If you have read
his work before, you know the joys that you are in for. If you haven't,
start reading, and consider this your lucky day. For Paul Krassner is an
activist, a philosopher, a lunatic and a saint, but most of all he is funny.
Lewis Black
Krassner has the uncanny ability to alter your
perceptions permanently.
Los Angeles Times
Wickedly funny... Chillingly funny... A convincing look
at a man who knows how to wield absurdity.
San Francisco Chronicle
Krassner is one of the best minds of his generation to be
destroyed by madness, starving, hysterical, naked but mainly hysterical.
His true wacky, wackily true autobiography is the definitive book on the sixties.
Art Spiegelman
Paulšs own writing, in particular, seemed daring and
adventurous to me; it took big chances and made important arguments
in relentlessly funny ways. I felt, down deep, that maybe I had some
of that in me, too; that maybe I could be using my skills to better
express my beliefs. The Realist was the inspiration that
kept pushing me to the next level; there was no way I could continue
reading it and remain the same.
George Carlin
He is an expert at ferreting out
hypocrisy and absurdism from the more solemn crannies of American
culture.
New York Times
Krassner lives in a world where
Truth and Satire are swingers, changing partners so often you never know
who belongs with whom.

In Praise of Indecency: Dispatches
From the Valley of Porn by Paul Krassner
– for $13.00
(plus $3 S&H)
Krassner seems to find nothing in the book indecent,
and by the end, I came out feeling like a prude. This is not a book
for those with delicate sensibilities, but it's interesting nonetheless.
