...if you haven't read this yet then tuck in, it's our eponymous hero's experiences around the events of feb/mar '74 as imagined by another PhilDickian character, Robert Crumb...Robert Crumb - The Religious Experience of Philip K Dick

...Robert Crumb was born on August 30, 1943 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is of English and Scottish ancestry, and is related to former US president Andrew Jackson on his mother's side. His father, Charles, was a career officer in the United States Marine Corps who served in both world wars; his mother, Beatrice, a housewife who reportedly abused diet pills and amphetamines. Their marriage was unhappy and the children - Robert, Charles, Maxon, Sandra and Carol - were frequent witnesses to their parents' loud arguments. In the mid 1960's, Crumb left home and moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he designed greeting cards for the American Greetings corporation, and met a group of young bohemians including Buzzy Linhart, Liz Johnston, and others. Liz introduced him to the woman who would become his first wife, Dana Morgan. He befriended another Cleveland resident, Harvey Pekar, and eventually contributed artwork to early issues of American Splendor. Encouraged by the reaction to some drawings he had published in underground newspapers, including Philadelphia's Yarrowstalks, Crumb moved in 1967 to San Francisco, California, the center of the counterculture movement. Crumb published the first issue of his Zap Comix in early 1968.
