*Isn't this somewhat offensive...

 

I don't know what's more offensive,

 

a) A Neat Stuff auction, or

 

b) that they posted pornographic stuff up in the general section, or

 

c) the fact that you posted it here for all of us to see.

 

Hmmm...., personally, I'll have to go with door a, but b and c come close .

Pretty out there, even for Crumb. He wasn't one to hide anything regarding his depravity.... :juggle:

 

Put it this way - if this comic was in your collection, you probably wouldn't consider showing it off to anyone (and I'm a big Crumb fan, FWIW).

 

Neat Stuff keep on finding books like this....paging comicwiz....

crumb? wasn't he the one in that dumb movie.
Several dumb movies. meh

 

lol

 

I was talking about American Splendor. Just wasn't my cup of tea so to speak. The man should have been drawing the Martian Manhunter, not a story about a fat man in a hospital.

Nah, the fat man in hospital story is far more interesting. meh meh

 

I enjoyed American Splendor - it was a genuine slice of dowdy, blue collar Americana. Crumb also had the Terry Zwigoff biopic, which is equally necessary viewing.

I might have switched the front with back cover (with appropriate textual changes), had I been the publisher.

 

Was that one in any of the collected Crumb volumes? I burned out on those after volume 7 or 8.

No.

 

Why Not?

 

It's depicting an act that some people do. It's part of a certain art genre. I wouldn't want to use censorship, rather I would hope that people that find it offensive would turn the channel and not draw attention to it. I would hope that people that don't find it offensive would not force it upon others.

Offensive or non-offensive is based on your personal point of view. I'm 100% positive that there are people on this board who don't see anything wrong with this. Remember, in a free society you have the right to be offended at anything you want, but you don't have the right to never be offended.

That was James Urbaniak playing Robert Crumb in American Splendor... so technically Crumb wasn't in that movie.

 

The fat man in the bathtub (sorry, wrong cultural reference... that's a Little Feat song) er... fat man in the hospital drawings were by Harvey Pekar, who was the focus of the film. He was played by Paul Giamatti... but he was also played by Daneil Tey, and by Pekar himself. Pekar wasn't played by Crumb, but they knew each other in real life.

 

The real Crumb WAS in the Zwigoff documentary "Crumb", which one would expect, given the title of the film.

 

Crumb was also in Comic Book Confidential, by Toronto doc director Ron Mann. Harvey Pekar was also in Comic Book Confidential. But Terry Zwigoff and Paul Giamatti were not.

 

Clear as mud?
