Can Anyone Help Phil Lammi?

I received this letter from California's Phil Lammi, and I had no idea what he was talking about. Do you?
In 1972, when I was about 15, I used to collect folding comics from bubblegum I purchased from the local ice cream man. They contained poems in a sort of limerick style with a mildly acerbic tone. They featured hippie-like characters. They were on newsprint that was folded in half, three times. They came folded up and started like this:
You fix the motor in your car.
(Unfold once)
You fix the garden hose.
(Unfold again)
Since you're so good at fixing things,
(Unfold all the way)
Why don't you fix your nose?
Another one:
When I see you, time stands still.
My heart goes tick, tick, tock.
Although you're always dressed to kill,
Your face could stop a clock!
I collected, I think, all 54 or so, but threw them away years ago. Any idea by who they were drawn? I am trying to collect them now. Please advise if you recognize them.
This ring a bell with anyone? I believe he was sort of in the Bay Area when he was getting these. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
