Bijou Funnies #3 Cover: Remembering Jay Lynch's Birthday

 Another cover for Jay Lynch's birthday: The cover to Bijou Funnies #3 by Jay Lynch (including Lynch's interpretations of Skip Williamson's Snappy Sammy Smoot, Robert Crumb's Bob Kleen, and Kim Deitch's Doc Destiny).

And an enlarged detail of the cover's portrait of "Connie Lingus" (who does not actually appear inside the comic):

Bijou Funnies #7 Cover: Art Spiegelman (with Skip Williamson & Jay Lynch)

 The cover to Bijou Funnies #7, an amusing collaborative effort between Art Spiegelman, Skip Williamson, and Jay Lynch: First, Spiegelman drew a panel of a topless woman in a stereotypical "damsel in distress" pose, then each artist added their own characters and dialogue to the panel: Spiegelman drew The Viper, Williamson drew Snappy Sammy Smoot, and Lynch drew Nard & Pat. (Spiegelman also drew the large figure of the Viper outside the panels.)

Bijou Funnies #8, "Snazzy Melvin Snoot": Happy Birthday, William Stout!

Happy birthday to artist William Stout (born Sep. 18, 1949)! From Bijou Funnies #8 (a special issue where several underground comix artists parodied each others' works), "Snazzy Melvin Snoot," a spoof of Skip Williamson's "Snappy Sammy Smoot," with a bit of nudity as a background gag in the splash panel. Story and art by William Stout.
