Remembering Spain Rodriguez
3/12/40 - 11/28/12
This month is the anniversary of Spain Rodriguez’s passing — my favorite cartoonist. —Maybe my favorite commie. Definitely my favorite Spanish biker rocker “adult intellectual.” My dear best friend.
Spain’s wife, Susan Stern, made a documentary about the man, the legend. It’s fantastic, not only about Rodriguez, but about the entire underground comix revolution.
I met Susan when we were both investigating the Meese Report Commission, and we became part of each other’s extended family.
“Bad Attitude,” the movie, is streaming on Amazon, where you can hear me and Crumb and Siegelman all talk about our favorite guy!
Take a peek at the trailer.
