Bicentennial Gross-Outs

In 1976, William Stout unleashed Bicentennial Gross-Outs, a single-issue comic from Yentzer and Gonif that reveled in the scatological and the shocking as a counterpoint to the nation's 200th birthday celebrations. Stout, serving as both writer and artist, packed the book with grotesque, over-the-top humor that pushed the boundaries of underground comix. Though it ran for just one issue, it stands as a bizarre, satirical artifact of the bicentennial era, capturing the decade's appetite for transgressive, no-holds-barred comedy.
