Lawrence Welz (born 1948), better known as Larry Welz, is an American cartoonist, who created Cherry Poptart (now known simply as Cherry). He was an early contributor to the underground comix movement in the San Francisco area during the late 1960s and early 1970s.^[1]

Work[edit]

From 1969–1970, his work was featured regularly in Yellow Dog, a comics anthology published by the Print Mint in Berkeley, California.^[2] A partial list of additional comic books from the era featuring his work includes San Francisco Comic Book, Captain Guts, Funnybook, Bakersfield Kountry Komics and American Flyer Funnies.^[3]

The cinema book pam cook. Evolving out of early prototype stories in Funnybook and Bakersfield Kountry Komics, Welz created Cherry Poptart in the early 1980s. Cherry quickly became his most successful and well-known comic book series, with 22 issues and a variety of collections, posters, stickers and tattoos.^[4]

Welz has collaborated with a variety of other well-known artists and authors on comic books and other projects over the years, including Mark Bodé,^[5]Neil Gaiman,^[6] and Larry Todd.^[7]

After many years in the San Francisco Bay Area, Welz and his wife Sharon moved to Roswell, New Mexico,^[8] and then to Albuquerque, where he continues his involvement in both comics and commercial artwork.

In 2006, Welz drew the cover for Jeff Walker's album Welcome to Carcass Cuntry.^[9]

In 2016, Welz drew the front and back cover for Marvin Garden's album 1968, as well as contributing an original cartoon to the liner notes.^[10]

Cherry (originally Cherry Poptart) is an erotic comic book about a sexually adventurous 18-year-old woman and her friends, written and drawn by Larry Welz.

History[edit]

First published in 1982^[1] the comic series was originally called Cherry Poptart, but the title was changed to Cherry beginning with Issue #3, explained by Welz as his response to litigation or threats of litigation by Kellogg's over its Pop-Tartstrademark.^[2]^[3] It has also been suggested that Welz decided that the 'Cherry' name alone was better as a brand and looked better as a logo.^[4] Inside the comic Cherry's name was changed to Cherry Popstar, and that name was used in a number of stories,^[5] but she was most frequently referred to by just her first name.

The original series has also spawned a spinoff title in 1992 – Cherry's Jubilee – which ran four issues, and featured stories from other writers and artists alongside work by Welz.^[2] In addition, individual issues are collected in a series of Cherry Collections. Welz has also produced an issue called Cherry Deluxe featuring a story by Neil Gaiman.

The original publisher of the comic was Last Gasp through Issue 13. Kitchen Sink Press published issues 14–15, as well as reprinting the Last Gasp issues with some modifications (mostly ads). Ves masina gorenje wa 543 uputstvo za upotrebu. Beginning with issue 16, Welz formed Cherry Comics which currently publishes Cherry and related titles. Again, earlier issues were modified for the new printings, and some bear a 'Second Edition' mark.^[2]

Though the comic is largely known as an erotic or pornographic book, it does garner critical merit for its humor and occasional political commentary.^[3] The Cherry character has also appeared in several free speech/censorship awareness campaigns.^[6] The series is among the largest-selling of the underground comics, and is among those titles credited with reviving that genre.^[7]

Contrasting the subject matter with more 'innocent' connotations, Welz draws the comic in a simple style reminiscent of Dan DeCarlo, whose style was also the basis for the Archie comic book series,^[4] though he does experiment with different drawing styles, including a 3D edition. The strip so closely followed the 'Happy Teenager' genre typified by Archie that lawsuits were threatened, but these failed to stop Welz, who overtly lampooned the Archie characters in the story 'Vampironica', though that particular story was pulled from subsequent printings.^[1]
