The Bold Italic is a not-for-profit media organization, and we publish first-person perspectives about San Francisco and the Bay Area. We operate under a fiscal sponsorship of a 501(c)(3).
You can become a paid subscriber. Or donate. Or learn more about us.
Smut History was printed locally, at Team Print Shop , an independently-owned business in Oakland. (One of Team Print Shop’s owners, Loren Purcell, just started designing for the Bold Italic ; we like to support artists while we make something creative of our own).
While supplies last, you can grab a little Smut History from The Shop , the online store we’ve curated featuring posters of iconic San Francisco characters (Brian Wilson, bears, eccentrics), as well as items crafted by local makers.
