A feminist answer to Zap, Tits \u0026amp; Clits quickly became an anthology showcase for other women cartoonists, featuring the work of Mary Fleener, Roberta Gregory, Krystine Kryttre, Lee Marrs, Carel Moiseiwitsch, Trina Robbins, Dori Seda, among others. Like other underground comix, Tits \u0026amp; Clits leaned into being lewd in order to satirise women's experiences with so-called sexual liberation. Featuring stories about birth control, abortion, menstruation, masturbation, and more, Tits \u0026amp; Clits featured intimate politics which occasionally clashed with contemporaneous feminist concepts about sex and sexuality. As Chevli put it: their work had something to offend everyone. (In 1973, conservative legal authorities in Orange County deemed their work pornographic and even threatened the two editors with arrest on obscenity charges.) Now, for the first time in half a century, a new generation of readers will be shocked, entertained, enlightened, and scandalised by the bold satirical cartoonists that comprised the band of sisters in Tits \u0026amp; Clits. In addition to reprinting the seven-issue run of the Tits \u0026amp; Clits series, this collection also includes in their entirety two classic solo comics from 1972 written and drawn by Farmer and Chevli - Abortion Eve and Pandora's Box. Also included is an introductory essay providing context to Tits \u0026amp; Clits' place in the history of women's cartooning by the book's editor, Samantha Meier.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49745084055825,"sku":"NGR9781683966838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50279872626961,"sku":"CIN168396683XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50980009410833,"sku":"GOR014158216","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51692982567185,"sku":"NIN9781683966838","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53261999898897,"sku":"CIN168396683XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/168396683X.jpg?v=1751441982"},{"product_id":"special-exits-book-joyce-farmer-9781606993811","title":"Special Exits","description":"Chronicles the decline of the author's parents' health and how they cope with the day-to-day emotional fragility of the most taxing time of their elderly lives.

Set in Los Angeles in the early '90s, Parker recalls the inexorable decline of her parents' health against a backdrop of wider social unrest. Their affectionate bickering, black humour and tender resignation to fading youth are captured perceptively and truthfully by Farmer, in what is widely regarded as one of the finest graphic memoirs ever produced.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50216656896273,"sku":"CIN1606997602G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417569329425,"sku":"CIN1606997602VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51528295317777,"sku":"GOR009007161","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1606997602.jpg?v=1781172248"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-joyce-farmer.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
