Mad Peck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mad Peck is an American underground cartoonist. His work first appeared in underground newspapers like East Village Other and The Chicago Seed in 1969. Consisting mostly of manipulated clip art from old ads, they advertised items like "GIANT INHALER" and "FREE CIGARETTE PAPERS", hippies and yippies would send 5 cents for one of his mini-comic catalogs. This led to the weekly comic Burn Of The Week which was distributed by the Underground Press Syndicate and offered phoney endorsements of Wayne Newton albums next to bong-building tips. By the mid 70s, The Mad Peck was creating a regular comic which ran monthly in Creem, and also plugged products in a bizarre pop-culture mish-mash similar to some of Bill Griffith's Zippy work.
He is based in Providence, Rhode Island.
