Powermowerman and Power Mower Safety

A delightfully odd one-shot from 1966, Powermowerman and Power Mower Safety was a public-service comic produced by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute. Its sole issue is most notable for featuring the unmistakable, wildly expressive artwork of underground comix legend Vaughn Bodé, who brought his psychedelic, cartoonish energy to the surprisingly earnest task of teaching safe lawn-mower operation. It stands as a fascinating artifact of a time when even the most mundane safety messages could be entrusted to a counterculture artist.
