when I was living in Cincinnati and married to my ex, and on top of
the world as a comic art dealer, I had gotten in a piece by famed
Underground artist S. Clay Wilson
I couldn't ever have displayed it at hom.. she would have blown a gasket
I know I have a copy somewhere, or a photo.. but the gist of it was
in the caption.
to wit:
Mr Johnson, bound and gagged to a pole watches in terror as his wife
gobbles on the Checkered Demon's choad
I'm guessing you folks know what he's saying

Howdy y'all,
Recently, I purchased frames from Sue at Hollywoodposterframes, so I
could achieve a consistent appearance, instead of the mishmash of
frames for my posters. (many thanks, Sue)
This has led to an opportunity to display additional posters, which
naturally, has led to unforeseen issues. To wit ... I need to gain
approval for appropriateness thru the missus, 'nuff said.
Iconic (and I use the term loosely) posters plainly denied:
Night of the Living Dead, (and nearly any monster poster)
Nude on the Moon (and just about any sexploitation poster)
An example in particular: After getting 'I Love Trouble' past a
cursory inspection, I receive a rather terse question:
"Is that a gun?"
To which I replied ... "Well ... yeah, but it is small and you
didn't see it initially ... you think I could get a pass on this one?"
Soooo ... everything is flowing smoothly, we are choosing among
available wall space for an ideal location for "I Love Trouble" ...
and then ...
"Wait a minute ... are those nipples?"
Aaaaaahhhh ... married life, we should all be so lucky.
P.S. I apologize for not having an image of "I Love Trouble" readily
available, long time collectors and dealers will hopefully visualize
the poster.
P.S.S. If anyone would like to view a recent pic of the best
looking, happiest 8 month baby on the planet, please reply, and
you'll find that you can't help but smile.
Regards,
