Sick

From 1968 to 1974, Hewfred Publications unleashed Sick, a 35-issue satirical comic that skewered the political and cultural upheavals of the era with gleeful irreverence. Anchored by the work of Charlie Rodrigues, Larry Barth, and Arnoldo Franchioni, the series turned real-life figures like Richard Nixon, Spiro Agnew, and John Lennon into recurring cartoon targets, alongside Uncle Sam and Yoko Ono. A sharp-edged cousin to Mad magazine, Sick mattered as a time capsule of counterculture humor, offering a raw, unvarnished take on the Vietnam War era through the lens of underground-style parody.
