Are We Really? is the question I posed to Surrogate General Zippo Klein Sir!

Zippo was the General of the Campoon in 1976 when Ford and Carter
ran against each other for President of the United States.
The Campoon ran George Pappoon for President under the Surrealistic Party.


 


Are We Really? on the Prankster Bus



Zippo and I were conducting surrealistic experiments one evening
when he looked at me and commented...

"You're all a bunch of bozos on this bus!!!"

My reply to Zippo was...

"Are We Really?"

The lights flashed, lightning struck, clouds filled the room.
It was an omen, from that point in time...
Are We Really? became my monicker.
I sign all of my artwork with it, I answer the telephone with it... it's me.
Are We Really? became a highly conceptual work of art utilizing
many media to create large artworks. In the late seventies,
I formulated the concept of PUTACREWONIT . The KREWE consists
of artists, technicians, pranksters, engineers, carpenters and bozos
collectively known as the
ArtPolice.
