R. Crumb & underground comix
| 
Sep 2 00:42 UTC 1995 |
Did anyone one of you out there see Crumb? This was a documentry
about R. Crumb who invented underground comics with his Zap comics, Fritz
the Cat, and Mr. Natural. The documentry was very interesting in showing
the effects his two nearly insane brothers had on his obsession with
drawing comics as a way of dealing with his personel life and society.
Crumbs influence continues to be felt today in underground comics
such as Dan Clowes "Hate" comics and in various zines. This the item
to discuss Crumb and underground comix.

I'm sad to see that I'm the first response for this.
Crumb was/is wonderful in an odd sort of way. Not quite upbeat,
but very wonderful nevertheless. That he had brothers who bothered
him makes a lot of sense, looking at this work.
Does anyone know of a good complete set of Crumb works? I'd heard
that there was going to be something nearly complete, and then it
felt like the deal died.
Of all my favorities, I think Mr. Natural is about at the top.
I wonder what Mr. Natual would say about that?
(probably: "It don't mean shit!")

I bought a print of Crumb's history of a small town (I forget the title)
for my dad for Christmas.
I believe Fantagraphics is putting together several collected volumes
of Crumb's work, if they haven't done so already. I'll see what I can
find.
I haven't managed to see _Crumb_ yet, but I have heard that it is
excellent. The guys at Dave's Comics were talking about it a few
weeks ago, but the only comment I remember is that his wife Aline
draws herself much worse than she actually looks.

I do have a collection of R. Crumb's comics from the 1960's. Even though the
settings were very cynical, I do enjoy his sick and twisted view of the world.

Go to the video store, rent the movie about this artist and his story... They
you will understand what we're talking about.

I saw "Crumb" and I thought it was very good. It surprised me to learn what
little liking he really felt for the whole late 60s hippie counterculture,
considering how much he has come to be associated with it. He was adopted by
it, so to speak, but the feeling was not mutual.
