Description

“yes, I’m drunk. that’s my scream. you jealous?”

TLS signed “Buk,” one page, 8.5 x 10.5, April 29, 1975. In part (spelling and grammar retained): “everything is quite simple. your own bellybutton is the real world unless you are starving to death. then you need them. but only for bacon and eggs. as per substance of soul you might as well look up a mule’s bunghole. your comic book was interesting. but looked too much like a shrink’s office. lessons. with a niny minor humor. ninhy ninny. that ain’t orifice hatred, that’s beer and a jumpy typer. those comics are going to WEAR because there’s no breakout point, only a preaching point. you guys are a bunch of Baptists in Popeye uniforms…yes, I’m drunk. that’s my scream. you jealous? this is Charlie baby signing off from Club Universe, one hell of a chattering chart flight to paradise, ummm.” Bukowski adds several of his classic sketches, including a self-portrait caricature, a dog yelling “Shit!,” a sun, and a bird. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
