I’m Learning To Share!: Frank Zappa’s ‘United Mutations’ fan club, 1967 comic book advertisement, w/ art by Cal Schenkel This full-page ad could have looked just a little out of place when it first ran in mainstream American comic books towards the end of 1967. ‘Pop-Art’ and psychedelia may have begun to make gentle inroads into the look of the funny books by then, but this ad was something a bit different. It promoted ‘We’re Only In It For The Money’, the (then brand new) third album by Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention, an LP every bit as innovative and mind-bending as their previous two, experimenting with familiar rock idioms in combination with avant-garde sound collage and large doses of social satire.
