The Art of Ralph Steadman’s “Slightly Maniacal” Humor

It’s because of Steadman’s label illustrations that I first picked up Flying Dog’s ales, and I’ve been glad I did ever since. One of my favorites, Road Dog, had a label that said “Good beer. No censorship” when I first picked it up. I’m pretty strongly against censorship, but I thought it was an oddly incongruous message. Then it changed to “Good beer. No shit”, and I learned that this was the original statement and that it had been temporarily blocked.
