Poopsheet Foundation

COMIX WORLD began as a column in WONDER WORLD in 1971, then appeared as a regular column in the LOS ANGELES FREE PRESS. Later it became a regular feature of the Berkeley BARB. The newsletter began in October of 1973 and continued for 237 issues. It became COMIX WAVE in 1984. There are 80 issues to date (July, 1988). Back Issues of most letters are available from Clay Geerdes, [address removed].

A mini-comic is approximately 3½ x 4" and has 8 panels of artwork. The form dates back to the eight page sex comics of the 1930's. It was revived in 1971 by Gary Arlington who published a series of 7-centers. It was used again by Dan O'Neill for his PENNY ANTE REPUBLICAN and influenced his students who published a series of comics known as PANDEMONIUM EXPRESS FUNNIES. Clay Geerdes used the form to reprint Pat Daley's FIRST EMPIRE FUNNIES in 1975, then continued to do his COMIX WORLD MINI-SERIES, beginning with BABYFAT in 1978 and continuing to the present (7/89). The expansion of the form throughout the US has been due to the development of high quality copy machines. Most of the CW MINIS were printed on the Xerox 8200, 9500, or the Kodak Ektaprinter.

A digestzine Is usually 5 x 7" or 5 x 8" and runs anywhere from four to 128 pages. The COMIX WAVE MAGAZINE was a 16 page DZ which ran for 28 issues, some of which are out of print and only available from collectors. BAD GIRL ART and THE VAULT OF HUMOR are both DZs.
