The paper is thin and it appears that it is uncut as it has the cut marks from the printer.


An enduring image of Frank Zappa is the "Toilet Poster" or "Phi Zappa Krappa"-poster, depicting him sitting on a toilet. The picture was taken by Robert Davidson in 1967 for an article in the International Times (Issue 18, August 31st - September 13th). There are three versions extant, all taken during the one session. The original version (1) has Jugendstil style graphic ornaments around the picture. The "Krappa" version (2) has colored ornament and the name "ZAPPA" as ornament or has the text "PHI ZAPPA KRAPPA" across the top of the poster but with no ornamentation
