Cartoon of the Week


From The First Post:

Crumbs of Comfort

Famed for his barely-contained lust for trunk-thighed, large-assed, muscular women, underground cartooning legend Robert Crumb's singular obsession receives a lavish showcase with this hugely expensive tome, signed and strictly limited to 1,000 copies. The result is a prime piece of highly-collectable 'Crumbiana' that will enthral deep-pocketed fans (feminists need not apply) with it's collection of 14 full-length strips and 60-odd sketches from 1980-2006 that lay bare the man's entertainingly tortured sexual psyche. Thanks to an all-new colouring job, Crumb's famously frenetic line-work receives an added lush vibrancy. Even in black-and-white, however, Crumb's etchings have a dynamism that's gleefully filthy.

Click the pic to see the slide show on The First Post's site. Well worth it. Though some of it is more than a little cheeky.

The TASCHEN website has further details, including how to buy it.
