“E. Z. Wolf's Kangaroo Court”

"E. Z. Wolf's Kangaroo Court" is a satirical gem from 1978, written and illustrated by Gilbert Shelton in his signature absurdist style. This issue features a delightfully bizarre take on American sports culture, spotlighting Wonder-Wart Hog’s unlikely foray into professional football with the Muthalode Bungers. The wild, collaborative cover art brings together multiple underground cartoonists, including Shelton, R. Diggs, Dave Sheridan, Foolbert Sturgeon, and Bill Griffith, making it a standout piece in the series.
