Weasels Ripped My Flesh
By Mike Kamens, 5 pp
united-mutations.com: NEON PARK was working as a poster artist
with the Family Dog, a San Francisco design group, when he got a
call from Frank Zappa asking him to come down to Los Angeles. Zappa
had seen the drawings Park had done for a group called Dancing Food
and wanted him to paint the jacket for the next Mothers of Invention
record. At their meeting, Zappa showed Park a magazine cover. "It
was one of those men's magazines like *Saga*," says Park.
"The cover story was *Weasels Ripped My Flesh* and it was the
adventure of a guy, naked to the waist, who was in water. The water
was swarming with weasels, and they were all kind of climbing on him
and biting him. So Frank said, 'This is it. What can you do that's
worse than this?' And the rest is history."
