Spitting on the Sheriff and Other Diversions

Charles Rodrigues, a singular talent in American cartooning, brought his uniquely twisted, gag-a-page sensibility to this 1966 one-shot from Gold Medal Books. A collection of single-panel cartoons and short comic strips, it showcases his signature blend of macabre humor, sharp social satire, and a delightfully off-kilter view of everyday life. Though a single issue, it stands as a potent time capsule of a distinct, darkly comic voice that remains influential among connoisseurs of the form.
