Air Pirates
Shary Flenniken grew up in Alaska, Panama and Seattle, where she studied at a commercial art school. She began working on small-press comics in Seattle and moved in 1971 to San Francisco, where she joined the Air Pirates collective. She was a marginal contributor to the Air Pirates, and the only member not to be sued for their Disney parodies.
She was later widely recognized as an influential figure in the integration of feminist concerns into underground comics. Air Pirates co-founder Bobby London was married to Flenniken for several years.

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or pirates:
“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
“Well, you Yankees and your holy principle about savin’ the Union. You’re plunderin’ pirates that’s what. Well, you think there’s no Confederate army where you’re goin’. You think our boys are asleep down here. Well, they’ll catch up to you and they’ll cut you to pieces you, you nameless, fatherless scum. I wish I could be there to see it.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
