Item Details
Description
Original WILD DOGS Poster, 1985.  Created by famed San Francisco underground artists R. Crumb and Victor Moscoso and Dan O'Neill.  Signed by Dan O'Neill. The Wild Dogs were a group of cartoon artists put together by newspaper cartoon artist Dan O'Neill to cover the 1984 Democrat convention in San Francisco.  This poster was made in 1985 during the time that Diane Feinstein was mayor of San Francisco.  It was commissioned by the Mitchell Brothers who owned a famous adult entertainment venue in San Francisco's Tenderloin district.  The O'Farrell Theatre was a favorite hangout of O'Neill's gang.   The theater was subjected to raids by Feinstein numerous times and the owners countered by printing this poster and putting it up in City Hall as well as on lamposts in the vicinity of the Mayor's home in Pacific Heights. Moscoco drew the figure of Feinstein.  Crumb's pen can be seen in the action going on under Feinstein's skirt. Reportedly less than 1000 of these were printed.    VERY FINE-NEAR MINT condition. Robert Crumb, Victor Moscoso & Dan O'Neil - Original 1985 for Wild Dog Magazine. This brilliant collaboration between three of the most important artists of the period,  Features Mayor Dianne Feinstein wearing the San Francisco city hall dome as a skirt while, "Behind the Scenes" under her shirt, the police harass ordinary citizens and the press.  On Mayor Feinstein's hip the " MO " probably refers to deceased Mayor Moscone and the headline." The Wild Dog is Loose in the Streets " refers to the police department and Diane Feinstein's inability to control police abuses.  Size: 24"(h) x 18"(w)
