Free Drugs is a very rude and filthy magazine
concocted by Brighton and Exeter-based cartoonists,
very much in the spirit of Robert Crumb.
It comprises a chain/jam strip called
The Millenniumists,
started off by Paul
Cemmick of Funday Times (The Intelligent Cod) and Maid Marion fame,
and continued by the famous Fred
Pipes, Phil Dobson (who does all the pictures on Sainsbury's own-brand goods
and has just done a new logo for Doc Martens boots), Caspar Williams (of Nervous
Tales), Karen Donnelly, Geo Parkin, Simeon Stout, and round it goes again.
The rest of the 32 page issue includes strips by Dave Robinson of Recycled Images (Reg Presley - Cerealogist takes up the centre spread) and Mal Peat
from Exeter - plus two strips from Carol Seatory of Brighton.
More strips from Fred Pipes, Paul Cemmick and Geo Parkin pad the thing out.
It is available from Reservoir Frogs and Fantastic Store in Brighton (complete with a Pure Filth sticker on the front to hide the rude bits) at £2.80 or,
unadulterated, at £2 plus postage from
Vernier Press,
18 Gerard Street,
Brighton
BN1 4NW
