Like other underground comix, Tits \u0026amp; Clits leaned into being lewd in order to satirize women’s experiences with so-called sexual liberation. Featuring stories about birth control, abortion, menstruation, masturbation, and more, Tits \u0026amp; Clits featured intimate politics which occasionally clashed with contemporaneous feminist concepts about sex and sexuality. As Chevli put it: their work had something to offend everyone. (In 1973, conservative legal authorities in Orange County deemed their work pornographic and even threatened the two editors with arrest on obscenity charges.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time in half a century, a new generation of readers will be shocked, entertained, enlightened, and scandalized by the bold satirical cartoonists that comprised the band of sisters in Tits \u0026amp; Clits. In addition to reprinting the seven-issue run of the Tits \u0026amp; Clits series, this collection also includes in their entirety two classic solo comics from 1972 written and drawn by Farmer and Chevli — Abortion Eve and Pandora’s Box. Also included is an introductory essay providing context to Tits \u0026amp; Clits’ place in the history of women’s cartooning by the book’s editor, Samantha Meier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid-x\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"small-12 large-auto cell large-order-2\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"small-header\"\u003ePRAISE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is radical feminist cartooning dealing with real issues head-on and in uncompromising fashion.\" — Four Color Apocalypse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fantagraphics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63768378507594,"sku":"titsandclits19721987","price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8894\/4822\/files\/IMG_1491_1ab29fbf-9909-4b00-92fb-ad35cb7727d4.jpg?v=1790874366","url":"https:\/\/littledeercomics.ie\/products\/tits-clits-1972-1988","provider":"Little Deer Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
