The Realist introduced me to Lenny Bruce when I was 9 years old. I'll be 75 in a couple of weeks.

Paul Krassner was Lenny's protege.

Love PK and The Realist. He had a long run in LA doing a late night set that included watching the news at 11 with his simultaneous commentary. BIG fun.

My father had some copies of The Realist in his library and i remember the issue of Eros with a photo spread of Marilyn Monroe that was very enjoyable. Great recollections, as always, thank you.

I wasn't aware of it until now. Interesting to know it existed and probably influenced some of my thoughts via coffee house discussions.
