Alternative Comics
Deitch regularly contributed comical, psychedelia-tinged comic strips (featuring the flower child "Sunshine Girl" and "The India Rubber Man") to New York City's premier underground newspaper, the East Village Other, beginning in 1967. He joined Bhob Stewart as an editor of EVO's all-comics spin-off, Gothic Blimp Works, in 1969. He is also an important figure in the current alternative comics movement which evolved from the underground comix movement.
Deitch was also a publisher, as co-founder of the Cartoonists Co-op Press. In 2008, the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art featured a retrospective exhibition of his work.

Famous quotes containing the word alternative:
“Our mother gives us our earliest lessons in love—and its partner, hate. Our father—our “second other”Melaborates on them. Offering us an alternative to the mother-baby relationship . . . presenting a masculine model which can supplement and contrast with the feminine. And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
