I guess I'm disqualifying myself because I'm the guy who sent it to you. And because I don't have any good questions for this crowd.

I'm still upset that no one knew what press the Webbs used to print "it catches"...

Just a guess here, used later on for the Henry Miller book: "...a praying, quivering, shaking 8 X 12 Chandler and Price, 50 or 60 years old..."?

Hi,
that is what mine looks like too! The only difference is that mine has straight spokes on the flywheel, where the oldstyle was curved.
I have a few pictures here is Jon standing at the press with Edwin Blair looking on... I'll try to scan and post in another thread...

"The law is wrong; I am right"
I think I know that one. It was a comic strip although each frame/drawing was made on a seperate piece of paper instead of putting all of them on 1-2 pages. I believe it can be seen on Runfola's site...

The Webb's dragged a couple of different presses from city to city. You should really read Jeff Weddle's Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press.

I'm reading Weddle book right now. Interesting reading for sure. I didn't know that a chap of poems by both Corrington and Bukowski was in the works for a while and was about to be published by a friend of Corrington. Of course, it was dropped, as many other projects from the 60's (the McNamara/Buk book of letters; the Rosenbaum (sp??)/Bukowski book of letters; the Richmond/Bukowski book of letters; the Border Press book of drawings and poems and maybe others I can't recall right now).
as to the question, I give up: that cartoon appeared in Open City.

i have no fucking idea. I do know that Bukowski would hate me for not knowing. Or is that Chinaski?

ok, guys, I know this is a tough one because I think none of you has a copy of the mag where this appears -well, there's one person who has a copy!- but if you take a close look at the pic you'll see it's not the typical Buk drawing at all, and that you should give you a pretty good idea of the date.

Okay, I can see no one is going to get this, so I'll spill the beans.
Back in the 40's Bukowski played for a AAA team called the Reno Silver Sox. It was his idea to print a program to sell to their 200 fans at each game, because the team was rarely paid.
"We hawk these for a dime a piece," he was rumored to have said, "If we can get enough of these chumps to bite, we make enough change to keep us drunk up until - and if we're lucky, through - the next game."
His team mates enthusiastically embraced the idea, and the fans seemed to enjoy the program, though some said it seemed, "dull and uninspired," so Bukowski added some drawings. This is the first drawing to appear, taken from the Silver Sox Gazette, July 17, 1944.
You never see these on the market, they are kind of like the Write magazine of AAA baseball programs. I'm not surprised that cirerita has a copy though.

Are you insinuating that this copy of the Silver Sox Gazette that I have here, dated July 17, 1944 and containing several Bukowski drawings, as well as numerous photos of him in his Silver Sox uniform is fake?!
How dare you!
I'll have you know that I purchased it on eBay, and the seller assured me he got it from a reliable source at a flea market in Houston.

mjp is RIGHT!
Amongst really informed fans it's quite known, that during his so called 10-year-drunk, Bukowski had a second career running, in professional baseball. After his first attempts to hide this fact and claiming he "can't quite remember these years", he even started working on a novel named 'The Pitcher' in 1972. (see timeline)
cirerita:
I have no right to ask a new quest: Your naming of the date made it easy to quess through Dorbin, that it's most likely to be in 'Matrix'.
So, if you're not fed up with kicking our asses by asking strange things (and thus adding to our mediocre knowledge) - GO ON, babe!
