Cherry Poptart

Larry Welz’s Cherry Poptart ran for three issues from 1982 to 1985 through Last Gasp, a short-lived but memorable underground comix series centered on its titular character. A product of the early ’80s counterculture, the comic blended raunchy humor and satirical social commentary, with Welz handling both writing and art throughout the run. It stands as a cult artifact of the era’s indie press scene, capturing a raw, unpolished voice that pushed boundaries in the underground tradition.
