High Times Magazine #21
"Come Along and Be My Party Doll Starring Atilla the Toiler" is a delightfully absurd slice of countercultural humor from 1977, written and illustrated by Gilbert Shelton with assistance from Dave Sheridan. In this offbeat tale, Phineas finds a creative workaround to his landlady’s strict no-plants rule by cultivating his marijuana crop in kiddie swimming pools on the rooftop—turning a mundane apartment dispute into a whimsical underground garden adventure. The story’s playful tone and distinctive art style, with lettering and inking by Shelton and Sheridan, capture the spirit of the era’s underground comics scene.
