Dirty... duck?
Here's a sample from 1971 of Bobby London's DIRTY DUCK. This strip started out in the undergrounds, moved on to THE NATIONAL LAMPOON and then PLAYBOY. There's an overwhelming George Harriman influence in the art, but instead of the surreal and baffling interplay between Krazy Kat, Ignatz and Offisa Pup, DIRTY DUCK reveled in raunch. Sex, drugs, questionable language and attitudes not suitable for good citizenship.. that was the ticket. London went on to take over the POPEYE strip. He was also married to talented Shary Flenniken (who gave us TROTS AND BONNIE).
