"For better or for worse, the influence of [S. Clay] Wilson and [Robert] Williams began to show in my work. I, too, became more of a rebel. I cast off the last vestiges of the pernicious influence of my years in the greeting card business.... I let it all out onto the page... the raging id... Blatant sexual images became a big thing, still happy and positive at first - a 'celebration' of sex. But the very sight of all those sweaty, bulbous cartoon characters fucking and sucking immediately drove away most of the female readers. As Trina [Robbins] says, I 'ruined' underground comics by encouraging all the younger boy artists to be bad and do comics about their own horrible sex fantasies. Ha ha!" -R.
