I met Crumb in 1969 and saw him several times in CHicago a couple of years later, when he saw a play I was in, which he called “the best play I’ve ever seen”. He was a good friend of one of my best highschool friends, who was and is another underground cartoonist. Having said that, I am quite sure Crumb would not be enamored of the Obamas.He’s way to0 individual and unpredictably out-of-phase with his own generation and the idiotic hero worship would’ve gotten to him early on. Crumb is way too anarchic, and independent to have any use for the aims and the agenda of Obama. In that regard he’s like another icon of that generation, Bob Dylan.
And as far as wanting to “ride” Mooshy, I think he may have seen her as an Opportunity Lost, considering all the downsides her big butt carries in tow, even though on the surface she does fulfill some of his strange female requirements.
I hope I’m right. I am going to google it, to see if I can find anything out.
“Crumb is way too anarchic,”
You’re probably right. I only met him a few times, as he hung with people that liked my band, Methyl Ethyl and The Ketones. Kirchen, Brulc,,, those guys. Then again,,,, he might think the obamas are about the best we’re gonna get?
