The Confessions of Robert Crumb: A Portrait Scripted by the Underground Comics Legend Himself (1987) Record Cover Art by Underground Cartoonist Robert Crumb On vinyl of course.Ī Short History of America, According to the Irreverent Comic Satirist Robert Crumb Best known for his expressive and highly stylized pen-and-ink drawings, Crumb unapologetically skewers sex, religion, race, and contemporary American culture. And if anyone feels like getting me a Christmas present this year, I’d like a copy of their record Chasin Rainbows. The City of Fawn Creek is located in the State of Kansas. (American, born 1943) Robert Crumb is a contemporary American satirist, comic artist, and illustrator. Listen to Crumb on the banjo above with his Cheap Suit Serenaders. But Crumb fans know that the comic artist’s reverence for Americana goes beyond his collecting and extends to his own version of kitchen-sink bluegrass, blues, and jazz. Crumb’s process is as thorough as his period knowledge. You can follow one step of that process in a detailed description of Crumb’s conversion of the blues cards to a silkscreened poster. The book-which validates my sense that this music belongs together cheek by jowl, even if some of its partisans can’t stand each other’s company-evolved through a painstaking process in which Crumb redrew and recolored the original illustrations from the printed trading cards (the original artwork having disappeared).
