Like other underground comix, \u003ci\u003eTits \u0026amp; Clits\u003c\/i\u003e leaned into being lewd in order to satirize women’s experiences with so-called sexual liberation. Featuring stories about birth control, abortion, menstruation, masturbation, and more, \u003ci\u003eTits \u0026amp; Clits\u003c\/i\u003e featured intimate politics which occasionally clashed with contemporaneous feminist concepts about sex and sexuality.  As Chevli put it: their work had something to offend everyone. (In 1973, conservative legal authorities in Orange County deemed their work pornographic and even threatened the two editors with arrest on obscenity charges.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, for the first time in half a century, a new generation of readers will be shocked, entertained, enlightened, and scandalized by the bold satirical cartoonists that comprised the band of sisters in \u003ci\u003eTits \u0026amp; Clits\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition to reprinting the seven-issue run of the \u003ci\u003eTits \u0026amp; Clits\u003c\/i\u003e series, this collection also includes in their entirety two classic solo comics from 1972 written and drawn by Farmer and Chevli — \u003ci\u003eAbortion Eve\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePandora’s Box\u003c\/i\u003e.
