Review by Wayne Malin

Ages VERY badly!

I saw it because I couldn’t believe a cartoon could be X-rated–it would get an R today. I couldn’t make heads or tails of it! There’s a plot (sort of) but the animation was crude, the humor made almost no sense (supposedly it was uproarious in the early 70s) and the “message” in the film was obvious and (in this day and age) very unhealthy.

Robert Crumb HATED this movie–it’s easy to see why! Basically a film that was really relevant in the early 70s, but it just doesn’t age well.

Worth seeing if you were in college in the late 60s/early 70s–otherwise stay away!
