Liberate Berkeley

Michael Myers and Holbrook Teter were the principal artist/activist/printers of Zephyrus Image, a radical press that operated in San Francisco and Berkeley through the 70s and as active in arts, poetry, politics and protest. Their workmanship was impeccable with a great graphic quality, good paper, and all the hallmarks typical of “fine printing” but Zephyrus Image was the furthest thing from some highbrow poetry press churning out stuffy chapbooks. Much of their work was distributed directly to public as a kind of dada-inflected street performance or disguised as “real” products or advertisements and surreptitiously placed on racks in stores or slid into stacks of yet-to-be sold newspapers.

So I was just wondering why “pesticide” means “kills pests”, “fungicide” means “kills fungi” but “barbicide” means “stuff old barbershops store combs in.” Wikipedia, of course, has the answer:

According to Ben King, son of the inventor, Maurice named the solution Barbicide because “He hated barbers. Barbicide meant ‘to kill the barber’. It was his secret joke.”
