Paul Krassner

Krassner's website and the Realist Archive Project.

Rob's comment:

As a kid, my history as a reader started with the Dick and Jane books in grammar school, then comic books and comic strips in the daily paper, then the sports page, Mad Magazine, and climaxing, so to speak, with The Realist in the early 60s.

Krassner was unique. He had politics but he did it without being stuffy, writing about what people my age were really interested in: sex, drugs, religion, and, to be sure, politics.

Krassner provides a mural idea for George Washington High School.
