    Al Capp's psycho vendetta against Joan Baez (he caricatured her as "Joanie Phoanie") and female hippies really anticipated the current right-wing genre of horny-hating AOC: a weird mixture of desire & contempt.pic.twitter.com/PQsBySs5b1

        Capp was a terrible human. I remember his insulting interview with John Lennon.

        He seems to have modeled Joanie's face on his own: same nose, chin, eyebrows. Convenient use of a mirror or unconscious self-loathing?

        He's also doing that thing where he's so intent on making it look unappealing that he forgets to make it resemble her.

        Alexander Theroux has a good little book on Al Capp. (Happy I read it before I learned of Theroux's sexually abusive behavior towards his prep school students)
