RipOff Comix #5, 1st Printing, September 1979, Gilbert Shelton, Bill Griffith, 52pages, Rip Off Press, Underground Comic

In a\"Griffith Observatory\" strip on the inside cover of Rip Off Comix #5,Bill Griffith predicts the fashion trend of wearing underwear on the outside ofclothing (like Madonna during her 1990 Blond Ambition tour), but of courseGriffith was attempting to be absurd! Of all people, Griffith should know thatnothing is too absurd to become reality (and I think he does).

Thefifth issue begins with another Freak Brothers story from Gilbert Shelton andPaul Mavrides. \"Take Me Out...\" is about the Freaks joining aslow-pitch softball league (for three different teams, as it turns out) andFreewheelin\' Franklin betting on the games. Franklin makes a small fortune bybetting on the best team, but his profits are threatened in the last game ofthe season when his bookie attempts to fix the outcome. But Franklin\'s no dope(did I really just write that?) and has his own fixin\' in the works.

Despiteits unusual (for the Freak Brothers) sports theme, \"Take Me Out...\"is an entertaining tale and was reprinted the following year in Freak Brothers#6. The story was doubtlessly inspired by the uncredited Dave Sheridan, who wasan avid softball player with the Artista Art Gang, an artist collective thatonce included over 700 members and a hellacious softball squad.

Aftera one-page \"Cartoon Cavalcade\" by Joel Beck, Harry Driggs (aka R.Diggs) continues his Mom Squad series that launched in the previous issue.\"Mom Squad and the Space Pirates\" is a somewhat disjointed 10-pagestory about a mad scientist on a space satellite who apparently uses space junkto fuel attacks on Earth as he attempts to become a global dictator. Of coursethe Mom Squad is well equipped to foil his evil plans.

RipOff Comix hits another high note in its grand history with this issue.

There was alittle store off Bleecker that specialized in underground comics. EveryFriday afternoon after work, I’d go there to see what was the latest versionjust hitting the shelves. With several of my hippy friends grooving, andlaughing over Comics, we’d sit around that smoke-filled room, sometimes lateinto the night.Fast forward, some fifty years later–my wife and I discovered some old cardboard boxes hidden behind junk in theback of our storage locker. It was a dry, cool place and the hundreds ofunderground comics that had only been read once, were in beautifulcondition. It felt like we discovered a pot of gold. We wrote todozens of book and comic stores with a list of our inventory. They said,there was no interest, no market and offered us little to nothing for thecollection. We explained to them that these were complete sets, first editions.To the retail outlets they were worthless, but to us they were priceless.Now we offer them on E-Bay and the collectors are grabbing them up, at our morethan fair and reasonable prices. Many we had universally certified withCGC, so you’ll know we’re trustworthy, reliable and have the best ofservice. Just check the response and reviews to know we’re honest andresponsible. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and hopeyou buy them now while they still are available. First come, firstserve. Thank you again for your time and interest.
