Crumb's during their days together at the American Greetins Co. in Ohio, where they both got their start back in the 1960s before breaking away to become hippies. K. was the first oublished woman underground cartoonist on the West Coast, and long ago took up the career of videography. She is a member of HAVC, the Headwaters Action Video Collective, which produces pro-environmental films. She is a former fellow-communard of mine (from Equitable Farm commune) and a former housemate of mine as well. > Gentle Swastika > Reclaiming the Innocence > by ManWoman > "The book Gentle Swastika is ManWoman's 30 years of > research into the worldwide hidden history of the swastika's > uses as a good luck sign and sacred symbol, distilled into > one 120 page volume.

Yes, that is what i am saying. The swastika is also an ancient Native American symbol. Prior to WWII, many Anglo-Americans identified it with the Southwest Indians, as can be seen on old postcards and greeting cards. I have a very nice American-made beaded item that bears the initials J.B.Y. and a black swastika on a white background. It is a simple strap-woven beaded piece of the type either made for a merit badge by Girl and Boy Scouts, or, during the 1920s, made on a "while you wait" basis by Indians for tourists at places like the Fred Harvey restaurant chain in Arizona and New Mexico. It was found in an estate collection of Native American bead-work that had been put away and wrapped in 1929-dated newspapers. Siva is scanning it right now, and by the time i post this, it will be up at my web site for you to enjoy.
