Podcasts about underground comix

Nostalgia is a tricky thing, and there's perhaps no better example than Ian and Pat's review of Crumb! Chronicling the lineage and linework of Underground Comix legend R. Crumb, Terry Zwigoff's 1994 documentary was once one of the guys' favorite films--and it may still be, even if the passage of time and evolving sensibilities make it far more difficult to recommend now than when it was released. Troubled by an oppressive, abusive early childhood peopled by mentally disturbed siblings and parents, Crumb channeled his social awkwardness and innate misanthropy into highly influential counter-culture comics. Having shunned commercial success and any illusions of fitting in with polite society, we meet Crumb as he and his wife, Aline, are finishing up a move from California to the South of France (where they'll move into a countryside home purchased with a suitcase full of Crumb's old sketchbooks). Zwigoff captures their informal farewells with family, colleagues, and critics--in the process asking audiences to wonder if being a well-regarded artistic genius is worth a life of numbness, doubt, and alienation.In this spoilerific review, Ian and Pat talk about what's changed in their perception of R. Crumb as an artist; how his work influenced Ian's own creative endeavors; and the eeriness of watching seemingly contemporary sociopolitical themes echoing back through the decades.Subscribe, like, and comment to the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel, and check out kickseat.com for multiple movie podcasts each week!Show LinksWatch the Crumb trailer.As mentioned in the show, check out the trailers for:Comic Book ConfidentialAmerican SplendorAs mentioned in the show, you can pick up Crumb on Blu-ray from The Criterion Collection.Keep up with Pat at HollywoodChicago.com.Listen to Pat's movie reviews on the radio at STAR 96.7.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to master illustrator, painter and cartoonist Drew Friedman, son of writer/screenwriter Bruce Jay Friedman. And when we say writer, we mean a writer – short stories, essays, Broadway plays, films, novels – you name it and Bruce Jay Friedman did it. From screenplays like hit films like Splash and Stir Crazy to less, how do we say this, successful films like Doctor Detroit, Bruce Jay Friedman walked in both the literary and pop culture worlds, seamlessly. We also talk Bruce's novels like Scuba Duba and A Mother's Kisses, which were lauded for their humorous look at social and societal issues of the day. With contemporaries like Joseph Heller and Thomas Pynchon, you are in some pretty impressive company. We also talk to Drew about growing up in New York with a father who had his own table at the fashionable Elaine's in Manhattan for 30 years as well as his own obsession with drawing as a child. It's led Drew to be known as one of the most well-known portrait artists and cartoon artists of the last 50 or so years. His works have appeared in everything from the Wall Street Journal to Heavy Metal. His latest book, Maverix and Lunatix : Icons of Underground Comix is out now on Fantagraphics books. His other books you might ask?  How about Old  Jewish Comedians? Or Heroes of the Comics? Or All The Presidents. Somehow we talk find time to talk to Drew about Topps baseball cards, Groucho Marx, National Lampoon, Joe Franklin, Tor Johnson, Sammy Petrillo, Dick Shawn, Ernie Kovacs and much much more. It's a lively interview that became a conversation and that's always a great thing for this podcast. So sit back and take a listen to the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast with Drew Friedman. Everyone has a story.

Getting high featured prominently in the work of many underground comix artists of the 1970s, from R. Crumb's "Mr. Natural" and "Stoned Again" to Kim Deitch's "Sunshine Girl" and Gilbert Shelton's indomitable Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. In his new book Dirty Pictures: How an Underground Network of Nerds, Feminists, Geniuses, Bikers, Potheads, Printers, Intellectuals, and Art School Rebels Revolutionized Art and Invented Comix, author Brian Doherty traces the fascinating history of this transgressive movement. Led by a bunch of stoned wise-asses who took a decidedly outlaw approach to publishing, capitalism and cannabis. As summed up in the Freak Brothers' sage advice: "Weed will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no weed." Help Make This Podcast Possible!

In diesem Podcast wird es bunt. Prof. Dr. Ulrich Seibert ist Jurist, Professor für Wirtschaftsrecht, an der Heinrich Heine Universität in Düsseldorf, hat über 200 Aufsätze publiziert, zahlreiche Reformen im Gesellschaftsrecht tragen seine Handschrift. Ulrich Seibert ist aber auch leidenschaftlicher Sammler von Pop-Surrealismus, einer Kunst, die ihren Ursprung in der US-amerikanischen Kustom Kulture und Surfkultur der 1950er sowie den späteren Underground Comix hat. "Kunst die man erklären muss ist langweilig" - so Ulrich Seiberts "Motto". In den Heckmann Höfen in Berlin Mitte hat Seiberts Sammlung ein Zuhause gefunden. Die Collection ist aber nicht nur Showroom, sondern auch Location für Fotoshootings, bzw. ein Ort der Begegnung - ein Highlight der Berliner Kunstlandschaft. Wir haben mit Ulrich Seibert via Zoom über seinen extravaganten Geschmack, die Verbindung zwischen Gesetzesentwürfen und Comic-Heften, über die Berliner Kunstszene und die Nachhaltigkeit seiner Sammlung gesprochen - stets mit ein wenig Augenzwinkern. Viel Vergnügen!

We'll get back to doing funny episodes about goofy moments in comic history in two weeks, but we decided to adjust our schedule.

With his new graphic memoir, Chartwell Manor (Fantagraphics), cartoonist Glenn Head returns to the scene of the crime: the boarding school where he and his fellow students were sexually and emotionally abused in the 1970s. We talk about why the toughest challenges of the book were artistic and not emotional, why he was just as unsparing in depicting himself as an adult, why the trauma of his time at Chartwell doesn't provide him a get-out-of-jail-free card, and why it wasn't exactly cathartic but was definitely empowering to draw and tell this story. We also get into why memoir is like striptease, the influence of the Patrick Melrose novels on this book, Glenn's lifelong debt to the great Underground Comix artists, his drive for personal exposure, why his wife is his best editor (and only reader), the next book he's working on, and more.

Criminal Defense Attorney Molly Parmer describes growing up the daughter of artist Skip Williamson during the Chicago 7 trial. Skip Williamson was influential in the Underground Comix movement, and did the art for Abby Hoffman's Steal This Book. Williamson was not one of the seven but was closely affiliated and active during the trial. Molly shares how her relationship to these events made her want to fight to protect people from a flawed system today, rather than work to reform it in the future. 

Tim Larsen is a big fan of the old school 1970s Underground Comix movement from the early 1970s. His heroes include R. Crumb, Spain, Bill Griffith, Robert Williams and R. Rand Holmes. Tim relocated to San Francisco from his native Minneapolis in 1992 to soak up whatever vestiges of that underground vibe still remained. Tim's known for his phenomenal work on the grisly hard-core biker comic book series Mayfield Eight, now into its 2nd year with hundreds of fans.

Professor Daniel Yezbick talks about the importance of telling one's own story--one's autobiography--in comics form. Includes discussion of George Carlson, Li'l Abner, Frederic Wertham, Disney, Carl Bark, Underground Comix, Maus, Red Dog, Legend, Animosity, Action Figures, and more.

We conclude our No Capes Allowed block with a spotlight on the first filmmaker to truly utilize the visual potential of a comic and collaborate with it's creator, Terry Zwigoff. Known now for Bad Santa, Zwigoff actually cut his teeth on this de facto trilogy about creative outsiders, and left his mark on comics without ever making one himself. This epic conversation takes many surprising turns, and is without a doubt our most personal episode to date! If you're a creative, you will probably really connect to this one.

In pt. 5 of my Countdown to DINK, we hear from Underground Comix pioneers, Denis Kitchen and Howard Cruse, about the underground comics movement of the 1970s, how comics censorship during the 1950s affected their childhoods, and what they think of protest these days. This interview is from DINK 2018, and was conducted by author Jason Heller.

A fascinating look at a long-forgotten Underground Comix entry. It's black and white, weird, and interesting.

The man behind Kitchen Sink Press talks about the history of underground comix, from the 60s to today. We'll discuss the way they were distributed to head shops. How did these handmade books get around? We also talk about his relationship with Will Eisner, and his role as a comic historiaan writing biographies of Harvey Kurtzman and Al Capp

C'mon get happy everybody!  For this week's "classic" re-upload, flower children Reggie (@reggiereggie) and Chris (@acecomics) discuss the year in comics... 1968!  This isn't so much an "according to them" sorta show, considering that neither of the fellas had yet graced the planet with their presence... however, with the benefit of hindsight (and the internet) they break down all the big news in the comics biz. What better way to prepare for this weekend's milestone 69th episode than discussing a year ending in 68?  Well, there's probably many better ways, but this is all we got! -- You can get a hold of us at weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com -- Originally aired in lieu of a Young Animal Segment during Weird Science DC Comics Podcast, Episode 110 (February 12, 2017) -- For our weekly writings check out www.weirdsciencedccomics.com For Chris' daily writings check out www.chrisisoninfiniteearths.com For our half-hearted blog/image depository check out www.weirdcomicshistory.blogspot.com -- Visit us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/CosmicTMillHistory and on Twitter @CosmicTMill -- Subscribe to the show on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, iHeartRadio... wherever's most convenient!

Over the last year, Kitchen has been more productive than he has been in decades, co-authoring a retrospective of Harvey Kurtzman, the first editor of Mad magazine, called The Art of Harvey Kurtzman: The Mad Genius of Comics, with Paul Buhle; a history of underground comix called Underground Classics: The Transformation of Comics into Comix, with James Danky; and producing a look back at his own career, The Oddly Compelling Art of Denis Kitchen, with text by Charles Brownstein.

In the world of comics, Denis Kitchen can do it all. Cartoonist, editor, publisher, museum consultant—heck, he even produced a daughter, Alexa, who is rapidly developing into a word-class artist in her own right. I’ve known Denis personally since 2002, when he vetted me as the guy who would eventually write the authorized biography, Will Eisner: A Spirited Life.

Graham Nash joins us on the first podcast of August 2017 to explain how he started collecting Underground Comix artwork and why he is now auctioning off his collection via Heritage Auctions on Aug. 10-12. Then Mark Weiss, famed rock photographer, will talk to us about his newest venture called Rock Scene Auctions. RockSceneAuctions.com is a new rock photography auction site where Mark auctions off his own iconic work and the work of other photographers. Auctions will appear every month — different bands, different eras — and part of the money goes to charity. Large, frameable, high quality prints, autographed by the photographers. Music collectors will be pleased.

This week, Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) sift through some of the seamy world of Underground Comix and read Rip Off Inc. Presents Underground Classics Wonder Wart-Hog vol. 1 from 1986! Collecting various strips from the early days of Wonder Wart-Hog, they concentrate on the three-chapter story "Wonder Wart-Hog Meets the Mob!" But not without detailed information about Wonder Wart-Hog creator and artist Gilbert Shelton, and the writer of this specific story, Bill Killeen. After a break, our comics enthusiasts sift through the long history of comics to turn up 47 different homages to or parodies of Superman! You'll have to listen in and see if we missed any good ones! weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com facebook.com/cosmictmillhistory @cosmictmill weirdsciencedccomics.com chrisisoninfiniteearths.com BREAK: The Hub City Movers, "Set Your Chickens Free" 45 RPM Flexi-Disc included with the comic book "Slip Hønsene Løs" (original title 'Set Your Chickens Free') by Gilbert Shelton issued by A/S Interpresse in Denmark in 1983.

Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) bring you another classic episode from way back when Weird Comics History was a segment of the Weird Science DC Comics Dot Com Podcast! This combines two parts from episodes 76 and 77 of that podcast, and they're all about DC Comics' first imprints meant to appeal to independent creators: Piranha Press and Paradox Press! These are relevant to Underground Comix in that it was another venue for people to showcase their non-superhero work, and of course some of the lessons learned from these imprints would be applied to Vertigo later on. So consider this your extra credit work!    

Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) conclude their history of Underground Comix, by now arguably not underground at all! We talk about the histories of Marvel's Epic imprint and DC's Vertigo imprint, and then go on to talk about the final frontier of underground comics today: the internet. We also describe minicomics and ashcans, give a nod to Steve Ditko, and talk about dirty comic books from the back of the shop! It's sure to be a mixed bag of leftover information that didn't quite fit anywhere else in the series. Enjoy!   weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com chrisandreggie.podbean.com Break snipped: Levi's 501 "Button Your Fly" commercial from 1990, directed by Spike Lee, starring Rob Liefeld TAGS: comic book history, underground comix, Epic Comics, Vertigo, webcomics, minicomics, ashcans, Steve Ditko, Cherry Poptart, Omaha the Cat Dancer, Doujinshi, lolicon, manga

Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) take you through the post-Underground years of Underground Comix, when things got even weirder! We follow the trajectories of Aline Kominsky-Crumb and Harvey Pekar, with some brief detours for Peter Bagge, Wendy and Richard Pini, and others! After some philosophizing about what "Underground Comix" means, our weird historians dive into some seminal black & white comic books, including a particular one about anthropomorphic turtles that changed the comics industry forever. All this...and David Letterman?   chrisandreggie.podbean.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com BREAK CLIP:Harvey Pekar on Late Night with David Letterman 7/31/87https://youtu.be/D0akXKxbflM SOURCES:The Aline Kominsky-Crumb Interview, The Comics Journal #139 (December 1990)http://www.tcj.com/the-aline-kominsky-crumb-interview/ "I Felt Like I Didn't Have a Baby But at Least I'd Have a Book": A Diane Noomin Interview, The Comics Journalhttp://www.tcj.com/i-felt-like-i-didn%E2%80%99t-have-a-baby-but-at-least-i%E2%80%99d-have-a-book-a-diane-noomin-interview/ Harvey Pekar: Conversations, edited by Michael G.

Grab your pickaxes and mining helmets, this week Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) uncover the seedy underbelly of comics history! First, a detailed look at Tijuana Bibles and a sadistic sex comic drawn by Superman co-creator, Joe Shuster. Then we take a long look at the careers of satirist and publisher Harvey Kurtzman and talented yet tragic Wally Wood, including their independently-produced works that would be so influential to a generation of comics creators.

Von Themen erdrückt habe ich ausnahmsweise dann doch noch eine Folge NNN aufgenommen. Zum ersten Mal liegt der Schwerpunkt auf dem ersten größeren Schwung Secret-Wars-Comics des Verlags Marvel. Eine vermutlich unabwendbare Entwicklung, schaut man sich die Convergence-Ausgabe dieser Woche an. Ebenso hat es Geschenke der Verlage Panini und Undergroundcomix gegeben und ich sende einen Appell an alle anderen Comic-Podcaster und -Blogger!Shownotes: http://nerdnerdnerd.blogsport.eu/2015/05/25/nnn00005-there-be-dragons/

Even if you don't like Underground Comix (heathen...), or even KNOW what that means, you will dig this shit. Get ready for the best mix of music, Idolatry and inebriated idiocy that this one Herbivore (snicker...) can muster. Personally, I couldn't care less if you downloaded this Pudcast, but if it entertains the shit out of me THIS much, it's gotta be a little fun for you, too. Check it.
