Old Crab, I might have those... have to check, they are re-prints from the Hobby-and-Habits headshop that used to be open here in the 80's...

but if I do, have to see about mailing em to you, I don't have enough to collect and not enough ambition to do ebay (even if they are worth anything) or any of the swpa meets..

Robert Crumb is the artist who drew those comics.....
(just in case you didn't already know that)
I saw an excellent special about him on Discovery or E! or some channel like that...

Though I do have every Epic and Heavy Metal, keeping those, love the art work and used to draw a lot...

trying to remember how now

lol

tonight I went out and bought .03 - .09 KOH-I-NOOR Rapidomatic pencils, and Pentel Drafting pens and Sketch Pens, paper, etc, dug out my squares and angles and curves

my wife balked at the portable drafting board with pivoting arm though

My God, stand your ground man.... is you a man or is you a meeses....?

well I do tend to get just about what I want, sooo I'll make the board tomarrow and just use a t-square and angles

She's still upset about the 4 new tires on my saburban I hadn't mentioned I was going to go purchase while she was in California last week :shocked:

My lawd man JM is right! Crumb did write draw those rags. Will Marvels never cease. Need an ico of a crab. Like BoXXi's box. For personal use of course. I need to learn to type faster. Hunt and peck ain't going to work any more.

Hmmm......ya know as I think back on it Howard Duck was actually an cerebal challenge to read. In fact most of my daily philosphy revolves around what would Howard do? I haven't even hit the skin libraries tonite. Anyone for an Irish coffee?

I'll e-mail ya one.

They seem to have everything except an Old Crab. Thanks for that link though, I'll keep it for future reference. Hey they got a fish. Nah, Old fish don't sound or look right. After all I'm the Old Crab and everyones use to that. >

A bit of historical correction here...

It was R.Crumb who did Mr. Natural, Flakey Foont, Mr.Whiteman, Despair Comics etc for Zap Comics. I don't think he was ever refferred to as "Robert" in any of his work.

Gilbert Shelton did The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers which is where Fat Freddie's Cat came from.

Victor Moscosco was the surrealist who did the Peanut Man and all those spacey desert landscapes (plus the legendary panels on the L-Taraval streetcar.

Rick Griffin did the famous 2-sidded '69 issue cover with the charging eyeball weilding a sword (R.Crumb did the other side's cover), plus, Ruby The Dyke, The Checkered Demon, and many others. He started out as a cartoonist for Surfer Magazine with a strip called "Murph the Surph". He went from there to doing political cartoons and then the Zap comics.

It was an amazing time.

and Frank Zappa (in spite of occaisionaly lapsing into shockingly crude parody) is one of the greatest musical geniuses in American history.

just wanted to get the facts straight...

Got it. The first will work if I can get Microanglo to work. They all look great. Thanks. Have an Irish coffee on the house. Thanks for the historical ref's DavidK and a tip of my hat to you.

Have the bottle. Ooppsh. It'hss empthy. JM gone'a downs it'sh alls. I'm going to the libraries folks, back later. (insert crab ico here)
