Hi Mike,

Here are a couple of more bits and pieces from the archives. The public
Robert Hughes exchange was rather recent. These two extremely different
guys oddly got on together famously; among their mutual hates was Andy
Whore-Hole (me too).

Crumb like S. Clay Wilson, Robert Wilson and a few other undergrounders
had a manic attention to detail which is rare in this hurried, casual,
bare age. All that buzy cross-hatching, wow.
