Ken Babbs, (born 1936) an American writer and psychedelic pioneer, joined The Merry Pranksters, with Ken Kesey, Neal Cassady, and others, in the 1960s after he served in Vietnam [1].

Babbs co-wrote the historical novel Last Go Round (1994) with Kesey.[1]

The two became and remained best friends after meeting at the Stanford Graduate School creative-writing class in the fall of 1958. The two lived near each other until Kesey's death, outside Eugene, Oregon.[2]

Babbs is now the Captain of the Sky Pilot Club.
