“Kids of Today (tsk, tsk)”

"Kids of Today (tsk, tsk)" is a standout story from Rip Off Comix #2 (1977), written and illustrated by Gilbert Shelton, whose sharp, satirical eye shines in this tale of chaos unleashed when a hospital mishap spreads Poltroonian Swine Fever across Muthalode city—turning its citizens into insatiable, perpetually hungry figures. The issue’s iconic cover, a collaborative effort by Shelton and a roster of underground comics legends including Ted Richards, Frank Stack, Dave Sheridan, Bill Griffith, Justin Green, and R. Diggs, captures the absurdity of the moment with a lineup of wildly expressive, fever-dream visuals.
