Holee Sheet
San Francisco: Chthon Press, 1969. Saddle-stapled quarto (8-3/8 x 10-7/8 inches) in pictorial cardstock wraps, 20 pp.
Brought to you by the founder of the mysterious dowsing troupe--the John Hazeltwig Society--John Mann, whose devotion to publishing this centennial periodical has lived up to its claim with this being the only issue from Chthon Press. He also published the letters editor Mary Jane Superweed's The Marijuana Consumer's and Dealer's Guide a year prior in 1968.
Contents include the 7-fold path to the Holee Sheet Philosophy. And an imagined, and subsequently real, television transcript between Colonel Bleakly Funk, Commander J. Thorny Cromwell and Agent J. Arthur Killman and the Archbishop of Camembert---aka The Big Cheese, filling in for Pope Passive III, who was rushed to a Mexico City hospital for an abortion 30 minutes prior to filming---all discussing the absolute truth of the assassination of JFK. Plus comix, a Vietnam diary, and focus on Shunga, the classical erotic Japanese art form discovered by the editor.
Contributors to the Holee Sheet are presumed to be members of the loosely collectivized revolutionary group from Isla Vista, the Strategic Hamlet, as their names had contribution appearances in several issues from the late 1960s. Scarce document of late 1960s bay area anarchistic psychedelia. Very good condition, some very light edge wear and minimal soiling to upper and lower cover wraps. Item #3040
