86. Krupp Mail Order 1971-1981.
Krupp Mail Order began as a modest backroom
operation in Krupp's Strickly Uppa Crust retail store in Milwaukee
(see button #3A). It steadily grew as advertising in Kitchen
Sink's comix line, Rolling Stone, High Times and
other publications expanded the mailing list. KMO was essentially
a "head shop by mail," offering a full line of underground
comix, pipes, bongs, counterculture T-shirts and the like to
an audience that either had no access to a head shop or was too
embarrassed to be seen going inside. By 1981 it was a Boulder
CO based spin-off of the Krupp Comic Works "conglomerate,"
operated by Denis Kitchen's one-time partner Tyler Lantzy and
his wife Terre. The slick KMO catalogs frequently featured custom
color covers by underground cartoonists like Kitchen, Peter
Poplaski, Peter Loft, Howard Cruse, Bill Griffith, Justin Green
and John Pound. Three buttons were created to celebrate
the mail order company's 10th anniversary. On this one Poplaski
created a new character, Steve Krupp Jr., the dope-smoking
derelict hippie son of the company's "founder."
2.25 inch diameter. $3.00
One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
