"In the Mood!!"

Her pants are not far off from what she was wearing during that time period. On the shirt, during this seventies period while it is interesting some of the things that appeared on t-shirts (Mickey Mouse to Mickey Rat?) no one was ever going to wear that one. It is a little amusing to see Robert Crumb did see an appearance in Archie Comics, ads selling iron on decals with the "Keep on Truckin'" image (C7), and another for Mr. Natural (D3). Though I am more curious on how the Budweiser and the "Master" and "Slave" ones pass code standards.

In keeping with a Crumb response page on the growing popularity of his "Keep on Truckin' ", ("keep on [blank]in' " with comical number of copyright notices splashed about) -- decal J6 has "Keep on Bikin' ". Curious too that later ads see a copyright Crumb note, pointing to the state the issue was in the court system.

Charles Bukowski by Robert Crumb

It just seems fitting that Robert Crumb and Charles Bukowski would find themselves working together at some point. In the 1980s, they joined forces in the two Bukowski books, Bring Me Your Love and There’s No Business. Crumbs most famous works include his Keep On Truckin’ strip, and strips featuring characters such as the bohemian Fritz the Cat, spiritual guru Mr. Natural. But enough already; the…

Bob Zoell Earth Magazine Original Art (Earth, 1971) Source

“New subscribers to Earth magazine in 1971 received a fine poster reproduction of this artwork, as a premium. It also appeared as a magazine centerfold. Zoell's over-sized, two-layered painting features exaggerated versions of such familiar cartoon characters as Mickey Mouse, Felix the Cat, and R. Crumb's Mr. Natural. A lesser Disney character, Bucky Bug, appears at lower right above the signature. Designed like an animation cel, with the principal images painted on a transparent overlay, and the painted background on textured watercolor stock.”

Crumb: A Cartoonist's Life Biography by Dan Nadel

The first biography of Robert Crumb—one of the most profound and influential artists of the 20th century—whose iconic, radically frank and meticulously rendered cartoons and comics inspired generations of readers and cartoonists, from Art Spiegelman to Alison Bechdel. It’s somewhat surprising that Crumb: A Cartoonist’s Life is the first full-length biography of the artist, given the significant…
