Title
Rub Matocas Presents Etta Kett in "Endorsed"
Description
Etta Kett in Endorsed is an eight-page pornographic comic book, commonly known as a "Tijuana Bible"; most were published circa 1920s-1940s. The artists, writers, and publishers of these booklets are generally unknown. Most eight-pagers are humorous takes on newspaper comic strip characters, movie stars, and political figures of the time, usually in sexually explicit situations, and invariably produced without permission or respect for copyright. These are timeless pieces of American comic sub-culture and are often considered the precursor to the underground comics created by the likes of Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton. Due to the circumstances in which these items were originally created, it is virtually impossible to determine edition and printing, although modern era reprints are usually easily identifiable.
