FD 14(3)

14" x 20" 1966

 

One of Stanley Mouse's more memorable early images. This poster was on Funky Sam's bedroom door.

Marijuana and LSD were very popular...you could get them anywhere. The "counter culture" used these drugs as straight society uses alcohol, and any symbols regarding these drugs were always popular...cocking a snoot at the establishment. Zig-Zag was a French company that made cigarette rolling papers, which became the vehicle for making marijuana joints, and so this poster was a wink at the law and an inside joke to those in the groove (man).

'Hard to believe, but this was exciting stuff then...America was so incredibly rigid and straight, you had to have been there to marvel at how trussed up society was....goody two-shoes everywhere you looked.

 

This wonderful, very rare and important poster has staple holes in the corners, but is otherwise perfect.
