I met up with an old friend Nancy Burton who worked under the names of Nancy Panzika Kalish and Hurricane Nancy.
Nancy is and was known and published in the sixties as the first female underground cartoonist. You know Art Crumb "Keep on Trucking" - in one line let me remind you or shed light if you were too young in the sixties or not there at all, it was very difficult for a woman to emerge in certain fields. Major radio only playlisted one woman an hour. You passed if you were in a male dominated group. It was the same or worse for a female cartoonist. Nancy never stopped drawing but life took a turn or two. Her website is http://www.hurricanenancy.com
and we are all very excited about her new art. So check it out and maybe buy a little something. Great for a bathroom wall where one has time to contemplate. In a world where nothing is black and white it's comforting to know there is Nancy. Love Melanie
