The comic strip is also be included in The Best Comics of 2016. Crumb happily posed for some photos with the original art, (I had been told awhile back that he greatly enjoyed the piece), after carefully studying each page. Crumb and I go way back, I had been a regular contributer to Crumb's magazine WEIRDO back in the early/mid-eighties.

ReplyDeleteDrew and R - what a clash of genii!
ReplyDeleteAnd today is George Carlin's birthday. Now there's a meeting I would have paid to see happen, Crumb and Carlin together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Drew!

ReplyDeletelove the blog ...... more blog.
ReplyDeleteCrumb has become an elder statesman of comedy, like Woody Allen. It's always nice to see him. Unlike Woody, he knows that a great caricature is really a tribute, and isn't needlessly offended.
ReplyDeleteDrew, yours is by far my favorite blog. I don't always leave a comment because typing "Wow, what a great post!" all the time would get old pretty fast.
BTW, as usual, what a great post...
Now you can do a drawing of him looking at your "Robert Crumb and Me" art--then repeat on the next visit and you'll have him looking at himself looking at the art of him looking at your art. Or not, but why not ;) Always great to see Mr. Crumb and I like the purple tint on his glasses, very stylish.
