Oops, bad move handing potentially subversive material to an educational insitution... especially RISD.

They'll find offense in some or all of it and burn them in a pile outside while chanting for inclusivity.

I am sure that some of the subversity will be offensive today.

I'm glad to see that my alma mater, Cornell, has a collection of comix. It's a good sign that they are keeping up with the times. Collection development is certainly difficult these days with so many diverse publications available.

Ohio State University's Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum also has an extraordinary underground comix collection, including Jay Kennedy's massive collection which was bequeathed to the university: https://library.osu.edu/finding-aids/ead/CGA/SPEC.CGA.JK.xml

I kept seeing that, too, but left it out because it wasn't just comix--it deserves a complete entry. Will keep it on deck. TY.
