Description: An intimate (and sometimes goofy) portrait of cartoonist Willy Murphy's life, loves, and struggles -- and a revealing glimpse into the underground comix scene in San Francisco in the early and mid-1970s.
Brief description: Mark Burstein is a book editor (Alice in Comicland, Jerry Garcia: The Collected Artwork, The Annotated Alice: 150th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), a noted scholar of Lewis Carroll and Walt Kelly, and a collector of - and sometime dealer in - original comic (and comix) art.

Review Quotes: He could somehow be caustic and gentle at the same time, and he always kept his eye on the prize: making his audience laugh out loud.--Art Spiegelman
