This authorized reprint released shortly after the show but still 50 years ago represents a more affordable way to acquire this fantastic and world famous work of art. For this Family Dog favorite master poster artist Rick Griffin created his version of the “Sunday Funnies”. In 1999 Stanley Mouse told Mark Powers that he created the second panel from the right in the bottom row. He signed the panel but his signature is so small that you cannot see it. In any event this is a poster that always enjoys high demand because of it’s great design bargain price and the fact it was also created by one of the greatest artists of them all Rick Griffin!
The image features a full color kaleidoscopic blazing psychedelic sunday color comics pages imagery by Rick Griffin which includes a comic panel with Murphy (aka "Murph the Surf") a internationally infamous surfing cartoon character he created for Surfer Magazine in his earlier career as well as a Mickey Mouse character in several panels the back panel of a back of Camel cigarettes etc. motifs he used extensively in the years to come on concert posters as well as in ZAP COMIX and other publications. Coincidentally enough Rick Griffin met Robert Crumb while ZAP COMIX #1 was still on the press about six months following the publication of Rick's FD-89 Zap style sunday comic strip concert poster and invited Rick onboard for the upcoming publication of ZAP #2 to be published four months later in August of 1968.
