Porno Graphics

Porno Graphics (spelled in numerous variations, ie. Pore Know Graphics, Pour No Graphics, Punographics, etc.) is the graphic design arm of The Cryptic Corporation, founded by Homer Flynn around 1971 as Porno/Graphics. The company is best known for its many album cover and promotional art designs for The Residents and Ralph Records, and has continued to produce album art for The Residents into the present day. 
Porno/Graphics operated under the informal business organization Residents, Uninc. until July 1976. Following The Cryptic Corporation's acquisition of the company in that month, a lack of consistency in the spelling of its name has been maintained; "Pore Know Graphics'' has become the most common variation, appearing on 18.4% of the company's credits. 
Besides its album artwork (which has sometimes been controversial), Poor Know Graphics has also produced set designs for film and live performance; however, to date, the company has not been credited for any works outside of its association with The Residents, Ralph Records or The Cryptic Corporation.
