Too few of us will be able to afford a Robert Crumb Original piece of artwork, but there are plenty of signed limited edition books, prints and other art pieces that we can get hold of.
And, who know, maybe one day we will be sitting in a cafe and Mr. Crumb will come and take a liking to us and give us a gift.

As Kevin Smith observes in his 2002 introduction to the DVD, Ron Mann’s 1989 documentary Comic Book Confidential hasn’t lost a bit of its relevance. It emerged as comics were enjoying a popular renaissance, when Frank Miller was redefining the Batman mythos in the mainstream, and scores of independent artists found their unique voices in the burgeoning aftermath of the underground comix expl…

SPEAKING OF PICTURES … Sentimental Advertisements Start A New Kind Of Pin-Up Craze. The new pin-up fad of the U.S. is the series of advertisements shown on these pages, which are put out by Oneida, Ltd. in Oneida, New York, manufacturers of Community silver. Titled “Back Home For Keeps,” they depict the breathless meeting of a young wife and her returned serviceman-husband at the moment of his homecoming. With them goes wishful advertising copy that manages to remind the reader that Community is not making silver now, but will when he gets home. Oneida, Ltd. expected that its illustrations would become popular among impatient wives, was ready with 50,000 reprints. But it was totally unprepared for the amazing response. “Back Home For Keeps” has been plastered on the walls of girls’ colleges , in high schools, even the barracks of those servicemen who have wearied of the anatomical pin-up. The artist is Jon Whitcomb, who drew the first of series, went into the Navy and was replaced by artist who signs his work Michael.

SPEAKING OF PICTURES … Soldier Cartoonist Portrays Wolf In GI Clothing. Along with the Jeep, the robot bomb and Spam, the wolf in GI clothing will become one of the historical mementos of WWII. The most amusing testimonial to this wartime phenomenon is a dead-pan cartoon character who has been entertaining service men for a year and a half. His name is The Wolf. His face is familiar. The brainchild of S/Sgt. Leonard Sansone, The Wolf has become a veteran soldier in his 18 months in the Army. He has had the complete training program, has been shipped overseas and has seen action. But his attitude toward a two-day pass remains essentially the same. Cartoonist Sgt. Sansone is stationed in the Camp Newspaper Service offices in New York City, where he draws The Wolf and a number of the other features which CNS distributes to service newspapers all over the world. A graduate of Massachusetts School of Art and commercial artist in civilian life, Sansone entered the Army a month after Pearl Harbor, was assigned to Fort Belvoir, Virginia, where he worked on the camp magazine “Duckboard.” ….. 1944 LIFE Magazine Picture…
