Editing Print Mint (section)

=== Underground comics "pornography" arrest ===
The Print Mint weathered a lawsuit filed over the publication of ''Zap Comix'', particularly issue No. 4 (published in 1969). The Schenkers were arrested and charged with publishing pornography by the [[Berkeley Police Department]]. Previous to that, Simon Lowinsky, owner of the Phoenix Gallery on College Avenue in Berkeley, had organized an exhibition of the ''Zap'' collective's original drawings, and had been arrested on the same charge.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fox |first=M.

He was acquitted after supportive testimony from [[Peter Selz]], a prominent figure in the art world. At that point, the city dropped the charges against the Print Mint.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}}
