Robert Crumb

There's an exhibition of his Art And Beauty images right now and then a book set comes out in a few months. This is the stuff I've most wanted. Never really been interested in his comics.

Apparently a lot of the newest stuff is drawn from selfies that girls have sent him. Really looking forward to seeing that.

unrepentant to the end.

its weird how he doesn't connect his compulsive confessionalism to his Catholic upbringing. Maybe he has elsewhere and just doesn't touch on it in this interview.

The only other cultural tradition I can think of besides Catholicism that places so much emphasis on confession - as if its a virtue in and of itself - is psychoanalysis.

great interview/ramble

Has he ever commented on the whole Thicc phenomenon? Seems like an improvement in society he would like.

so weird that neither the gallery nor the hyperallergic write up mention that these are all copies from zap! 12k for a swipebook!

Looks like an update based on the comments, but the hyperallergic article now says: "(These drawings appear to replicate those of cartoonist R. Crumb and his comic strip Stoned, included in Head Comix, a collection of his comics published by Viking Press in 1968.)"

yeah, that wasn't there this morning; editor dropped the ball. no reference to crumb at all in the gallery description!
in any case, pretty sure those are from Zap originally.

Does a gallery of all 9 original panels of "A Short History of America" exist online in a decent (or *gasp* high) resolution?

fairly large

Ah, I never realized this was originally b/w, I wonder if he colored it in for later editions?

Thank you very much.

The original comic is in black and white ink, consisting of a total of twelve panels.[7]

In 1981, a new version was released by Kitchen Sink Press, with Peter Poplaski adding color to the original work and turning it into a commercial poster for sale.[9]
