Grew up with him. First with the Giants, my original home team and then he got traded to my adopted home team, the Indians. Frank Duffy, also a Giant that I grew up with came along, too. We even had Gaylord's brother, Jim Perry here at the same time and they were team mates for two years.
Gaylord made his games an event, a spectacle worth watching just to see him getting inspected and wondering if they would finally catch him. Only one other in baseball had that distinction in my book, Orioles manager Earl Weaver.
Thanks for the wonderful summers of fun and adventure.

Aw, he was great. And these days we know the spitball isn't really a thing, but the head games involved certainly are!

I'm more familiar with Shary Flenniken who drew Trots and Bonnie and is pretty deserving of that title.
They're both brilliant artists. I suspect more feminist artists would cite Kominsky-Crumb as an influence (see, for instance, Phoebe Gloeckner's Diary of a Teenage Girl) but I'll leave that argument for others more versed in the feminist movement. Very sorry to see her go.
Thank you for the introduction. Incredible legacy. Looking forward to listening to new music. RIP
Here's something you might like to start with. This is with his last collaboration, Pete's Posse.
The tall guy is Oliver Scanlon, who you will definitely hear from in the future. Pete recruited him while he was still in high school, where he (Pete) ran a traditional music program.

I just got home and that greeted me on the TV news.
Christine was my favorite by far. Never got to see them in person but my uncle did a photo shoot for Fleetwood Mac in Houston back in the 70âs.

I used to put fuzz pedals on my sting ray but now that I'm a big boy I put wa-wa pedals on my mountain bike.
Wa-wa.
