Old, obscure comic strip put out by Rip Off! Press. I read the Collected Volumes No.2 and it's a comprehensive 40 odd page collection of the comic. The strip starts off with the protagonist, a far-out hippie, proudly proclaiming 'Two-hundred trips and they’ve all been bummers—but I ain’t givin’ up!' while poppin' a pill. Easy to see where this one goes - each short strip is a different 'trip'. Pretty funny at times with some counter-culture social commentary here and there - entertaining.
