Cobblestone Volume 2, Issue 24. Rick Griffin designed the full color cover. Christian themed tabloid from 1976, First/Only Printing Tabloid Newspaper.

The Family Dog's famous motto, "May the baby Jesus shut your mouth & open your mind" is featured on the front cover. Also features a one page interview with RICK GRIFFIN by TOM LUTH & the late, great GREG ESCALANTE (museum curator for the historic HEART & TORCH: RICK GRIFFIN'S TRANSCENDENCE show held at the LAGUNA ART MUSEUM in 2007), as well as an article on underground comix & internationally renowned animation great GEORGE METZGER (creator of the underground comix graphic novel classic BEYOND TIME AND AGAIN, MOONDOG Comix, and plenty of other UG's back in the late 1960's and early 70's), one page of artwork by Alex Nin and a discussion of a Harlan Ellison event. Low print run, distribution was spotty and over a small area. Scarce!
