I sometimes worry that we don't pay sufficient tribute to R. Crumb, counter-culture underground comix pioneer and admirer of brawny women. But then I noticed that he's got a Taschen compilation called Robert Crumb's Sex Obsessions selling for what my grandfather would have called "four and a half bills", and so now I don't feel so bad. Here's part of Taschen's blurb:
...Through his long career the world's most famous underground cartoonist has felt compelled to include his own sex fantasies in his art. He explains it as a compulsive catharsis, while fans call R. Crumb's erotic fantasies the Master at his best. Now Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single page drawings to create a 256 page encyclopedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between 1980 and 2006, and all strips are colored for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books. In total the book features 14 complete stories, including My Troubles With Women II, If I Were a King, A Bitchin' Bod and How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl, as well as 62 single page drawings.
A more affordable way to get to know Crumb is through the R. Crumb Sketchbooks, or through his Art and Beauty Magazine, which has several ink drawings of muscular women and female bodybuilders.
...but Taschen really has to start pricing their books more affordably. They have this amazing Vanessa Del Rio book I'd love to get but it's as expensive as this book. The only way I'm paying that kind of money is if I get to spend the night with Vanessa.
