Outlaw poet, writer, Beat associate, artist, printer, dock worker, and in general, a hell of a friend, Charley Plymell (not on facebook, but @ Pam Plymell) turns 80 this weekend, on Sunday, April 26.

Born during the Dust Bowl Days of Kansas fame, he has seen and done and written about most things — always loyal to friends, family, and truth. He seems to be at the right places at the right times, but avoided gaining any one ‘label.’

So here’s the first of a few things I’ll post this week about cp and his work and friends and stuff. First on his printing of the first Zap Comix with R. Crumb — yup.

Best to you, charley – – hope to see you soon —
