Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Dunker, Robert M. (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Wraps (PB) in near fine condition with 1 single alphabet letter written on top right of first page. Issue No. 1 features a U.S. Army soldier holding a rifle in one hand and a lifeless infant in the other, accompanied by the caption "ATTACK!" . The interior pages are replete with satirical cartoons, erotic drawings, and macabre scenes, all rendered in a raw, unfiltered style that echoes the underground comix movement. The layout is deliberately chaotic, reinforcing the magazine's rebellious ethos. The content of Horseshit is as confrontational as its visuals. The inaugural issue opens with a meta-dialogue titled "On Naming the Magazine," where characters brainstorm titles like "The Diarrhea of Anne Frank", showcasing the editors' penchant for taboo-breaking humor. Subsequent articles include "The Angled Banana," a satirical piece that reimagines Kama Sutra positions with absurdist flair, and various poems and essays that lampoon politics, religion, and societal conventions. 45 pages.

Hermosa Beach, CA : Scum Publishing Company, 1967. "Fourth printing" (inner lower wrapper). Quarto (280 x 215 mm), original stapled pictorial wrappers, pp. 48, extensively illustrated, and with additional text and illustration on the inner wrappers; a very good copy. Horseshit was a counterculture magazine produced by brothers Robert and Thomas Dunker. Robert was responsible for the layout and the majority of the artwork - his imagery is often surreal and sometimes sexually explicit - and Thomas for most of the textual content, which, though humorous, is essentially a string of eviscerating commentaries on American society and politics. A total of four issues were published at intervals over several years in the mid to late 1960s. The Dunkers, writing in the third person, outlined their reasons for publishing the magazine, and also gave some insights into their production process, on the inside front wrapper of the first (1965) issue: '. there was a real need for a magazine that would combine strong, fearless, humorous drawings with witty, intelligent, outspoken writing . [the brothers] have to be unmarried so they can do what they want without asking permission, they have to have a passionate belief in their own ideas and they also have to be skeptical about their own ideas, they have to be nuts.'.

A complete run of this irreverent, countercultural magazine written, illustrated and published by Robert and Thomas Dunker in Hermosa Beach, Calif. Tom Dunker - who was a parapalegic - contributed all of the writing and his brother Bob all of the illustrations and design work. The magazine was stridently anti-war and lampooned American nationalism, religious hypocrisy, and a culture of repressed sexuality. Much of Bob Dunker's artwork featured nude women and men with humorous captions. Although only four issues were published, each issue went through multiple printings. Offered here are issue 1 - second printing; issue 2 - fourth printing; issue 3 - second printing; and issue four - presumed first printing. The brothers initially called their publishing imprint Gauntlet until they discovered that it was already the name of a homosexual publication and they changed it to Scum Publishing with issue two. Magazine format, 44 pp.; 48 pp.; 48 pp.; 56 pp., all heavily illustrated. Most issues near fine, two issues with slight rubbing.

Etat : Age toning. Written by Thomas and illustrated by Robert, a pair of ex-military brothers, this 56 page booklet is full of humorous shoe puns and political jokes. One joke in the book depicts a pair of leather dress shoes surrounded by several pairs of cowboy boots with the caption "That's all you see in Washington (DC) these days." Another joke shows a male's dressing shoe with a cracked rubber sole on top of a woman's high heel shoe with the caption "My God, Cynthia. The rubber broke!". Yet another depicts a police man's boot facing a pair of skates with the caption "Young Lady, aren't you pretty young to be driving?" Some of the jokes are meant to be offensive as well, such as one joke depicting an older man's shoe and a younger girl's shoe with the caption "Little Girl, would you like some candy?" The drawings in this booklet are done in a cartoon style of black and white line drawings, and it is unclear if it was meant to be colored in or not by the reader. This book was intended to be a renewal gift for a magazine entitled "Horseshit, the Offensive Review" that was also written and illustrated by the Dunkers. The last few pages of the booklet feature advertisements for the magazine as well as a tear out subscription form. Yellow wrappers. Measures 7" x 5".

The collection consists of four magazines entitled "Horseshit, the Offensive Review", Numbers 1-4, that were published over the course of several years. It was an independent magazine published by two ex-military brothers, Robert and Thomas Dunker. One the inside cover of the first magazine, the brothers state their reasoning for starting this magazine. They "decided that there was a real need for a magazine that would combine strong, fearless, humorous drawings with witty, intelligent, outspoken writing." and continue on to state that in order to put out the magazine "they have to be unmarried so they can do what they want without asking permission, they have to have a passionate belief in their own ideas and they also have to be skeptical bout their own ideas, they have to be nuts." A large portion of the content, either written or drawn is surreal,sexual explicit or political in nature. The magazines features short stories, articles, poems, and illustrations that are meant to provoke a response from the reader as they often tread the line between humor and offensiveness. For example there is an illustration of a mural of a cop getting pissed on by a little boy, several short verses like "Working is like making love to an ugly woman, not so bad after starting, but ugh, what a chore to start," and an article called "The Angled Banana." This article first tells the reader that the artists who drew the sexual illustrations found in the Karma Sutra were imprisoned for it, and their cell's walls were full of more illustrations which the have re-created for you. The description of these positions then humorous describe them, such as "If it should happen that the woman has not been able to bathe, as when her lover approaches her at an unexpected time; or if she has been eating garlic or onions, then the position known as 'aclospin' or the 'head cold' is used." The accompanying illustration depicts a couple 'in congress' with the woman holding his nose closed. Each magazine is around 50 pages long and has black and white illustrations, though the covers are sometimes in color. The majority of the artwork was done by Robert, and the writing by Thomas. Staple binding. Measures 11" x 8 1/2" Age toning. Minor foxing on the cover of No. 4.
