Geez, mom - my favorite Robert Crumb characters are Flakey Foont, Mr. Natural, and Angelfood McSpade, but on a 6 foot tall gravestone?
Is the Stupid Barrack statue still going to be in?
From the article it’s not clear if the headstone was originally approved by the cemetary or not. But if it is allowed to stay then I see a run on weird headstones and one upmanship, with the result of a whacky and unholy cemetary that is a laughing stock. BTW: this is a black family. Are whacky headstones a new urban craze?
at 13k a pop, i can see why the family is upset, but they should have checked first. frankly if they prevail then we’ll see a whole raft of people trying to show off when they should be respecting the deceased. showing love for someone shouldn’t be trying to out-spectacle others.
