I've been helping a guy out putting some old books and tabloids on ABE, and came across a run of old San Francisco Ball tabloid/magazines.  Every so often they review UG with illos by Crumb, Corben, Trina, etc.  The issues so far are from 1970-1976.  It was a tabloid similar to Screw and should be appearing on ABE's site late next week.  The guy has had some billing issues with ATT, but now that they are resolved the files will be uploaded next Weds., the day I work for him. Not as slick as Hustler, but definitely more obscure.

Clay also submitted a small article in Hustler for "Ball".  I'll post that soon.
I have a few.  Good stuff.

In an October ish of Hustler (I think it was either Oct. of '76, '77 or '78), I wrote a long humorous lead article called "Showered by Howard", wherein I did an extensive real-life investigation into one of the strange hobbies of the late Howard Hughes.  The article was headlined on the cover...and it was illustrated by some surfer artist friend of Rick Griffin's.

Jay, I believe this is the issue of your article.
November, 1977.
I have it, just can't find it yet.

Please post the article on Collecting Celebrity Urine....Once I'm done with collecting UG, I think that's next....either that or celebrity faeces ( in cigar boxes...wrapped in mylar...)

How about used celebrity toilet paper?  Then you could get it slabbed...

If you PGX it and grades at least 9.2, let me know and we can combine it with something from my collection of Michael Jackson's old noses.

I wrote the celebrity urine article as well.  I got to talk to some interesting people on that assignment.  But yeah.  Both the Hughes article and the celeb urine thing are in that ish.
