...I'm definitely psychedelically inclined, although it has been a few decades since I've ingested anything.

Back in the late 70s, I worked on an underground comic book called "Timothy Leary Neurocomics," which you can see here.

The comic was based on the writings of Dr. Timothy Leary, with the script written by George DiCaprio (yes, THAT George DiCaprio), and art by Pete Von Sholly, the now well-known monster expert and movie storyboard artist.

I did the front/back cover painting, panel border inking, ziptones, some airbrushing, and the lettering.

Back around 1978, as we were preparing to start the Neurocomics project, Pete, George and I visited Dr. Leary at his home in L.A. He invited us in, where he was watching a football game on a whacked-out color tv that made the football field look blue. Dr. Leary offered us all a beer, so we sat there drinking beer and watching football with the notorious acid king...it was a little strange.
