Drought Chic

Shary Flenniken's Drought Chic is a single-issue comic from 1977, a sharp, satirical one-off that skewers the fashion and beauty industry's absurd response to the California water shortage. Published by an independent press, it showcases Flenniken's singular, deadpan wit and clean cartooning style, offering a pointed cultural critique that remains a clever, time-capsule artifact of 1970s counterculture humor.
