114. "Housetop"
Howard (1983).
In 1977 Robert Crumb created a set
of eleven odd buttons for Kitchen Sink, featuring obscure charcters
that, with a couple exceptions, did not appear in his underground
comix. Each had a sub-set number within a small circle. "Housetop
Howard," who may win the award as Crumb's most obscure
character, is No. 2 in the sub-set. Please do not ask
us why sub-set #2 is the sixth listed in this master number list.
It was assigned master list #114 long before collectors asked
such questions. Also please don't ask us why only four of the
eleven Crumb designs appeared in 1977 (see #82 through 85) or
why it took five long years for six others in the set to appear
(see #113-118). Finally, please do not ask us why the eleventh
button (No. 10 in the sub-set) was inexplicably never
manufactured. Just enjoy the ten actually produced while supplies
last.
2.25" diameter. $6.00
One note, for serious button collectors,
you may want to read the KSP
BUTTON TEXT which explains the numbering systems for
identifying the various buttons produced over the last 30 years,
or see the COMPLETE
KSP BUTTON LIST. The list is VERY long, so be patient
while it loads.
