“Helpful Child Rearing Hints (First in a Series of)”

About this Collection

This is the eleventh issue of the underground comix anthology series Weirdo, published by Last Gasp in 1984. The collection features a mix of offbeat and transgressive humor, including appearances by recurring characters Martini Baton, Miss Shirl-Thing, and Rat Fink, showcasing the raw, countercultural edge of the era's alternative comics scene.

"Helpful Child Rearing Hints (First in a Series of)" offers a rare, intimate glimpse into Bruce Carleton’s six-month journey through Southeast Asia, presented as a series of candid travel notebook entries. With equal parts text and illustration, the issue captures the rhythm of daily life, observations, and quiet moments, all rendered in Carleton’s distinctive, unpolished style. The cover, a striking collaboration by Robert Crumb in both pencils and inks, sets a surreal, offbeat tone that perfectly complements the raw, personal nature of the content.
