15p preview of The Roadhead Chronicles: PopCulture and Chrome Meet Asphalt and Art by Mike Marino
The Roadhead Chronicles goes from the Cold War Fifties Pop Culture of classic cars and rock n' roll to the spaced out Spare Change Sixties of Vietnam and Hells Angels. Not the usual look at the era, instead It's written by someone who lived it and spent a life of being on the road from his beach bum days in Honolulu to the glitz and dangers of the Sunset Strip in LA, and his purple hazed and double dazed days in North Beach and the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. The Roadhead Chronicles also looks at the history of Route 66, Roadside Neon Culture and old diners and dives!
Mike Marino writes in an offbeat and irreverant style with a beat and a cadence that is all his own. His writing style has been compared to John Dos Passos, John Steinbeck and Terry Southern and one reviewer likened him to Frederick Lewis Allen on acid! Readers and critics call the book "wickedly wonderful", "delightfully weird" and "automotively sexy."!!!

This is the last "panel" in a 5 "panel" cartoon I drew for the Boston Children's Hospital close circuit TV station. It gets piped into the patients rooms. So if they get bored watching the Price is Right!, or whatever, they can turn it to channel 22 and watch a bunch of my cartoons. This one has Hulk freaking out because he has a cold, and he's told to turn his TV to the "Relaxation Channel". he does. Now you know how it ends.
Marvel don't sue me, it's for the kids.
