In May 1989, Dwaine Tinsley stood at the summit of an unlikely
career. The product of a broken, trailer-trash marriage, he was a
high school dropout who had decided to become a professional
cartoonist while serving a six-year sentence in a Maryland prison
for burglary. As cartoon editor for Larry Flynt's notorious Hustler
magazine, he had assembled a staff of pen-and-Wite-Out-wielding
Lenny Bruces whose unprecedentedly offensive socio-sexual cartoons
had spearheaded that publication's fight against the forces of
censorship and repression that sought to overthrow the political
and cultural gains of the 1960s. His primary personal contribution
spawned amidst a national hysteria that saw a plague of child
sexual abuse arising everywhere from pre-school staffs to satanic
sects was "Chester the Molester," a hulking middle-aged man who
craved pre-pubescent girls. And then Tinsley's teenage daughter
accused him of sexually violating her over the course of five
years. And the prosecution in his ensuing criminal trial cast
several storage boxes full of his cartoons against him. Most
Outrageous is the story of the trial of Dwaine Tinsley as well as
the story of Tinsley's family life. Bob Levin's writings have
established him as one of the most thought-provoking chroniclers of
cartoonists today. While focusing upon the work and lives of the
most offbeat creators in the field in order to champion the pursuit
of individual vision, no matter how unorthodox or inflammatory, he
has explored issues common to artists of every medium. Most
Outrageous carries his search onto new, unsettling ground.
