The Man With The Mustache: Peter Max and the Expo '74 Stamp

Liz tells Devon about Peter Max, the German-American artist who designed the iconic US Expo '74 stamp, which features the “Cosmic Runner" or "Cosmic Jumper" traveling through a colorful world, and the controversy surrounding his false claim that he also illustrated The Beatles' film, "Yellow Submarine". 

And just in time to close out Gay Wrath Month, Liz throws in a little bonus connection between Expo '74 and José Julio Sarria, aka Mama José, the celebrated gay rights activist, drag queen, and the first openly gay candidate for public office in the United States. A rough-cut edit with extended Expo '74 content is on our Patreon for subscribers, too!
