ABOUT THE AUTHOR

PAUL KRASSNER is the author of several books, a co-founder of the Yippies and publishes the Disneyland Memorial Orgy poster (available at www.paulkrassner.com). He edited the groundbreaking satirical magazine, The Realist (1958-2001), but when People magazine called him “father of the underground press,” he immediately demanded a paternity test. He is a columnist for AVN Online and High Times, and the only person in the world ever to receive awards from both Playboy magazine (for humor) and the Feminist Party Media Workshop (for journalism). He has also received an ACLU Uppie (Upton Sinclair) Award for dedication to freedom of expression, and at the annual Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam he was inducted into the Counterculture Hall of Fame—“my ambition,” Krassner claims, “since I was three years old.”
