They do give off that vibe

The R. Crumb Handbook page 115

Thanks, man! I'm glad somebody had the guts to say it.

I realized that when I was editing the video, he did the Face on the Floor in issue #10 before the famous Life parody cover on #11

Wow! You went deep.

Well don't start a TH-cam channel; there's enough sharks in the tank already

Do you need help?

@@LittleCozyNostril You ruined the video for me with your snide comment. I didn't click on your video for a quick dissertation of your beliefs. Thumbs down. I'll stand with 7K

@@paincorp2 Have fun, guys

It's great! I did see your vid, but I figured it had been long enough

I have everything that's in it in different books. I've checked

@@LittleCozyNostril Good I’m glad! Thought it might have been censored, you know how it goes! It’s I’ve said I have a bit of Crumb myself But it wasn’t the cash, I just decided to stop! I’m like that all in on something then stop! I’m keeping hold of it though. Take care. Thanks for getting back to me! Unlike many plumbers!😂

I had stopped myself... Then I started this series

Thanks, it gets better as it goes on I think. The song is Skeleton Rag by The Hoosier Hotshots, but it's an abridged version I found on an old Vitaphone (or similar) short sound film.

@@LittleCozyNostril Thank you very much, im very excited for the next chapters.

@@matheusalves9421 Great! I'm assuming you've already seen the other 18 episodes.

The Original Art book is bigger, a nicer presentation, has a wider variety of his art styles and genres, as well as more information and examples of his process. For some people's purposes that would be the better book. It's also more than double the price (results vary in the secondary market.) Wolvertoons is like a trade paperback that collects most of his ugly drawings in one place. So it's more specialized. I have about a half dozen Wolverton books, and maybe another half dozen books with a good sampling of Wolverton in them, and The Original Art of Basil Wolverton is probably the one I look at the least.

It's a shame it hasn't been reprinted in a nicer edition. I would probably upgrade given the opportunity

It actually changes panel to panel. At first it's FOO, which was Robert and Charles' MAD-clone fanzine. Then it says Potrzebie, then ouch, and then swearing glyphs (jarns and nittles I think.) Moy podcast is actually podrzebie with a "D"

I just have a huge digital collection of pre WWII music of all genres.

I'll get another proper episode out before Christmas I'm sure

Good luck!

You know, I brag and I brag about it because there's always someone who doesn't know yet.

All of this is answered in other episodes of the show

I think this is an oversimplification. Of course he does love 1920s and 30s jazz, but he also loves blues, country, jug bands, novelty, Hawaiian, etc. from the period as well. It's worth checking out John Hennigan's Old Time Radio Show online where Crumb is a frequent guest showcasing his collection of 78s including bizarre stuff like French, Turkish, and all other kinds of ethnic records from the period and into the early 50s. To your point about so many of these performers being black, again I broadly agree, but I don't think that absolves Crumb of the accusations of racism. I'm not trying to be judgemental or anything, clearly I'm a huge Crumb fan, I just find his work more interesting when grappling with his work honestly.

You should hear the self-identified communist Robert Crumb talk about America!

I'm into European comics which is why I've heard of him, but I didn't have any friends into European comics growing up which is why I haven't heard his name pronounced out loud before

You might be right.

Oh yeah! I remember seeing some of that in Heavy Metal!

Yeah, I'm not broadly anti-digital either but there is an organic quality to hand drawn work that is so much better

Glad I could help!

Corben art and stories are way more cerebral in my opinion. I agree that they're fun though. They just need to be taken in small doses.

@@LittleCozyNostril Agreed. Well, comparisons. I think I have read about 10 volumes of The Mercenary (not in English) back in the day. They're convincing pieces of world-building and the biofiction (the flying dragons) in particular, is original.

I think what saves them is the brevity. Like if you got one of these stories in a Heavy Metal type mage with a bunch of other stuff you'd be thrilled.

I never would have gotten there.

I bought that for dirt cheap a few years back and I only read it once. I don't really know much about it. I actually thought Junko Mizuno was an American artist doing a manga style until just this minute! I'll keep it in mind

@@LittleCozyNostril She's from Japanese, she lived in the US and Canada though. She used to show her paintings at a gallery here in Toronto. I don't think she's done many comics recently. Maybe is just selling original artwork now? She has a trilogy children's Fairy Tales, her Little Mermaid and Cinderella are really good too. Pure Trance is trip. Especially for the time

I have that effect on people

I don't think the kids were supposed to know about this one

Thanks, but you wouldn't be saying that if I did any singing in it!

Neat. I saw one for sale a few days ago. It was way cheaper than I would have expected.

If he'd gone right to the source and asked the horse, he'd have received an answer that you'd have endorsed.

I'm curating a more patient breed of viewer. Tik Tok might be more your speed.

​@@LittleCozyNostril Respectfully, there's a difference between impatience and simply wanting to hear about the material advertised in the video's title without having to sit through irrelevant and unnecessary padding.

You're talking about waiting less than a minute to “hear about the material advertised” (which you can skip to.) What you call “irrelevant and unnecessary padding,” is stuff that I like in my videos and others; a little bit of flavour that sets the tone and brands the series. It's part of the reason I do these videos at all. I'm not charging you for this, and I'm not really sorry if you're not getting your slop as fast as you want it.

It was probably that goat I sacrificed

Yeah, it's a video essay, dingus

Thanks man!

Thank you!!

He's a Crumb-like genius

It's an abridged recording of "Skeleton Rag" by The Hoosier Hotshots
