Yes, that's Mr. Crumb himself in there, seated behind the drummer. From eyefortalent's description: Legendary underground cartoonist Robert Crumb and guitarist Dominique Cravic founded Les Primitifs du Futur in 1986 craving real Parisian musette instead of poor imitations heard in variety shows. Sounding like they've stepped right out the '30s, the members of Les Primitifs du Futur brilliantly blend...

Robert Crumb's straight retelling of Genesis lacks his trademark humour It's the old story. Milton tried to retell the Bible and discovered that Satan was a more interesting character than God, and now, three centuries later, Robert Crumb confirms that God is a hell of a lot less fun than Fritz the Cat. "The first book of the Bible graphically depicted! Nothing left out!" declares the cover...

A new audio-book version of the Bible, jam-packed with stars, has made it to shelves in time for the holidays. Richard Dreyfuss does Moses, Max Von Sydow does Noah and Gary Sinise is David, but they're just the beginning. The...
OK, it's time to speed this up a little bit, because I began my "alphabetical journey through my comics collection" all the way back in June 2008, and here I am just coming up to "N" ! I'd love to finish this series while I'm still hale and hearty, so, it's a three-for-one alphabet extravaganza this time as I look at comics that've blown me away for various reasons in my nearly...

Crumb seems to be doing no wrong as of late. The cartoonist is the elder representative of cartoonists of the world. His recent book, The Book of Genesis, Crumb seems to have landed on the right foot literally with his recent explosion of success. Now he has shoes bases on his first creation Fritz [...]
I've been wearing Vans slip-ons since I was a teenager. In recent years, Vans has made shoes featuring designs from pioneering underground artists I really dig like Robt. Williams and Rick Griffin. I was thrilled to find out that they recently added a series of shoes featuring the art of comix pioneer R. Crumb! Seen above are slip-ons emblazoned with Crumb's Fritz the Cat. They're $50. (Mr. Natural...
In October alone we got word of American artist R. Crumb applying his genius to the Vans Authentic, Sk8 High and Slip-On. Now, both sides are back at it with the result being the “Modern America” Vans Chukka shown here. The left heel reads “MODERN AMERICA,” while the right heel has an illustration [...]
Boomers self-mythologizing has become literally a new industry. Have you seen the commercial where the guy says "in the 60s, I was all about freedom. In my 60s, why stop now?" Of course, this and most such comparisons seem to omit boomers' ultra-materialistic 20s-50s. but hey, what's 40 years among rebels? Anyway, while "Good Time Music for Hard Times" is, on the surface, another...
