Home Grown Funnies

A single-issue labor of love from Dutch cartoonist Evert Geradts, Home Grown Funnies (1971) stands as a small, self-contained artifact of the early underground comix era. Published independently, it captures the raw, personal energy of the movement—a snapshot of a creator working outside the mainstream, blending humor and countercultural sensibilities in a format that feels more like a handmade zine than a traditional comic. Its significance lies in its rarity as a one-off expression of Geradts’ singular vision, a quiet but genuine piece of comic history.
