This is the Original Pre-Concert First Printing, version B of the FD-19 Handbill. According to Family Dog historian Eric King's Guide, there are two versions of this handbill issue. Some of these sheets of three were cut into individual handbills (version A), and some uncut sheets (like this version B) exist and are considered a legitimate variant printing. 

 

Here we have an original Family Dog handbill for a two-day bill at the Avalon featuring an all-time favorite Mouse/Kelley design. The duo very cleverly used popular culture images as design themes for many of their early works.
