R.
CRUMB TRADING CARDS - NEW 36 CARD SET!
Thirty-Six
different characters with short histories on
the reverse! Robert Crumb Trading Cards is the perfect
gift or addition to the collection of any even
half-serious Crumb fan. The boxed set is very
similar in format to the popular Heroes
of the Blues, Early Jazz
Greats and Pioneers of
Country Music card sets also published by Denis Kitchen
Publishing and available here and
from specialty retailers everywhere.
Featured
characters include... the mysterious guru Mr. Natural; his loyal
devotee Flakey Foont; The Nerds; Pete the Plumber (and his
sidekick Plungo); Whiteman and Yeti the Bigfoot both from Homegrown
Funnies; Ruff Tuff Creampuff; the raining Meatball from Zap #0; Shuman the Human; Dirty Dog; Smelly Old Cat; The Desperate
Character; Mr.
Appropriate (way ahead of his
time on the ecology front); Vulture Demoness
(the
dominatrix from Big Ass #1-2); Eggs Ackley (whose eyeballs
were stolen by crows in Motor City #1); Sally Blubberbutt; Fritz the Cat (star of the
Ralph Bakshi animated cartoons who was then
permanently killed in People's Comix); Those Cute Little
Bearzy Wearzies (Jippo and Boopsy); The
big-foot character from Keep on Truckin'; Onion Head; Patricia Pig; Forky O'Donnell (you don't want to have
lunch with this guy!); Squirelly the Squirrel; Cheesis K. Reist, star of 'Hamburgers!'; Boingy Baxter; The Simp and The
Gimp; Ruth Schwartz (the original "gurl"
in Big
Ass #1
who later helped Flakey Foont institutionalize
Mr. Natural in Mr. Natural
#3); Devil Girl (from before she had a line of
candy); Mr. Snoid; Angelfood McSpade, The Old Pooperoo; Dale Steinberger the Jewish
Cowgirl; Joe Blow (from the infamous Zap #4 bust); Little Johnny
Fuckerfaster;
Bo Bo Belinski (the drunk, not the baseball player);
and Robert Crumb
himself
(a nice self-portrait, but he's also a regular
cast member).
On the back of each card is a
concise character synopsis written by the late
comics historian Dave Schreiner, accompanied by
2-color bonus illustrations. All in a snappy
box designed by Robert Crumb and Pete
Poplaski.
Publisher's Note: This is the first printing from Denis Kitchen Publishing. Old hippies and
a few collectors will remember a similar set
published by Kitchen Sink Press way back in 1991.
How is this set different? First,
if you compare boxes, the cover design has been
significantly tweaked by Crumb: his background
characters and cityscape in the 1991 version are
gone and the "I am not a swan" quote is new. The box
lettering is new and bolder. The new box has a
glossy finish. The Patricia Pig image (card #21) is
all-new, and the beak on Vulture Demoness (card #14)
has been fixed, among the differences discerning
fans will note. In summation, the sets, two decades
apart, are very similar, but certainly not
identical.
