Playing with my head: Not sure if the establishment was called Head Gear or O.B. Trilogy (for Ocean Beach, San Diego). Couldn't find any details on illustrator "McManus," either. I like the drawings of the wares, as well as lotus-guy toker in center. From the Door, November 19-December 3, 1970...

Intriguing review of The Harder They Come in the Ann Arbor Sun (Dec. 20, 1974-Jan. 3, 1975), calling it "not *a* cult movie but *the* cult movie" and comparing it to the work of Satyajit Ray and Kurosawa in its depiction of Jamaica... #JimmyCliff
