Ralph drew this after we talked about my hearing Dick Gregory speak at Compton College in winter of 1981. He'd said, " "These manipulatin' pimps don't give a damn about none of ya'all!"
Gregory was referring to a presumed tiny group of oligarchs who seemed to be rather running amok.

This week's "primitive man" cartoons is a drawing he created to protest the harebrained cannabis policies in 1980s California. I thought it appropriate since we've evolved so little in terms of modernizing drug policy. Lately we've been told Cannabis will remain Schedule 1 according to DEA. Also, they're adding kratom (mitrogyna speciosa) a benevolent herb, to Schedule 1. Delegitimizing nature is symptom of severe human defect Series: Primitive Man (17 Articles, 23352 views)

Ralph drew this cartoon with India ink on a handwritten letter in the 1990s. The letter subsequently got wet and smudged, so I had to do a little inexpert graphic repair. The original caption, "Evolution in Practice", was smeared beyond recognition. Series: Primitive Man (17 Articles, 23352 views)
