YES!!! I AGREE! WHAT A MOM!!! thoroughly enjoying this interview . . . LOVE the description of Levittown -- "a great place to escape"!!! i actually had to study the Levittowns while in college (sociology/urban studies classes, about 30 years ago) -- as "failures" in suburban planning . . . ! THANK YOU Mr. Griffith, for giving so many of us years of ZIPPY fun! :)
  6:53pm
David Shortell:

Bagge wasn't yet published when the 7 issues of Arcade came out in the mid 1970s; but he was later featured in Comical Funnies, Stop! and Weirdo.
Then he got his own mag: Neat Stuff.

Evelyn Waugh: EE-vuh-linn, and he's a he.

Neat Stuff & Hate are great -- I remember him being an editor of one of the mags for a while... maybe Weirdo. COuld google, but listening too closely. Great interview.
