R. Crumb created Zap Comix and such characters as Mr. Natural and Fritz the Cat. His comics were a staple of the 1960s counterculture, and came out of his nightmares, fantasies and fetishes. There was a time when he wanted to censor that part of himself — but then he took LSD. He told Terry Gross about that experience in a 2005 interview. We'll also hear from his wife Aline Kominsky Crumb, who is also a cartoonist.

Author and curator Dan Nadel joins the show to celebrate the publication of his amazing new biography, CRUMB: A Cartoonist's Life (Scribner). We get into Robert Crumb's significance in American art, comics, and culture, Dan's first experience with a Crumb comic (it was an ish of American Splendor), the challenge of capturing the underground comics scene of the '60s & '70s, and what it took for him to get over the "R. Crumb" persona and realize how integrated Robert's personality is. We talk about Crumb's role as nexus in the history of comics, the book's focus on Crumb's drawing and how different tools opened him up artistically, what it means to see Crumb as part of tradition and not just a conceptual outlier, how his Crumb differs from the Crumb of Terry Zwigoff's documentary, and the one detail he's still dying to find out about Zap Comix. We also discuss Dan's comics and art upbringing, how he found his place as a publisher then gallery & museum curator, how he was affected by the death of Crumb's wife Aline in 2022, how his museum experience prepared him for writing about the racist and sexist aspects of Crumb's comics, the only cartoonist biography he could tackle after Crumb, whether Crumb's Book of Genesis succeeds as comics, and a lot more.

“Bande dessinée, 1964-2024”au Centre Pompidou, Parisdu 29 mai au 4 novembre 2024Entretien avec Emmanuèle Payen, directrice du département développement culturel et cinéma, Bibliothèque publique d'information, et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, le 27 mai 2024, durée 23'12,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2024/05/29/3541_bande-dessinee_centre-pompidou/Communiqué de presseCommissariat :Anne Lemonnier, attachée de conservation, Musée national d'art moderne, Centre Pompidouet Emmanuèle Payen, directrice du département développement culturel et cinéma,Bibliothèque publique d'informationConseillers scientifiquesThierry Groensteen, historien de la bande dessinée, ancien directeur du Musée de la bandedessinée à la Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image à Angoulêmeet Lucas Hureau, directeur de MEL Compagnie des arts et du label MEL Publisher Pour la première fois en France, le Centre Pompidou, en partenariat avec le Fonds Hélène & Edouard Leclerc, met en dialogue les trois principaux foyers d'expression de la bande dessinée – la création européenne, les mangas asiatiques et les comics américains – et propose une immersion exceptionnelle dans les multiples univers du 9e art. Véritable traversée de l'histoire moderne et contemporaine du médium, elle convie les visiteurs à découvrir ses évolutions au fil des décennies, des foisonnements graphiques de l'underground aux styles contemporains les plus abstraits.L'exposition s'ouvre sur le tournant des années 1960, marqué par l'avènement de la contre culture. Partout dans le monde, alors que la bande dessinée est encore perçue comme un divertissement pour la jeunesse, des initiatives éditoriales s'adressent résolument a un public adulte. En France, Hara-Kiri, magazine « bête et méchant », offre a l'humour graphique de nouveaux territoires, tandis que les aventures de Barbarella de Jean-Claude Forest sont éditées en albums par Éric Losfeld. L'année 1964 voit le lancement au Japon du mensuel d'avant-garde Garo, qui décline sur différents modes le concept de bande dessinée d'auteur. En 1968, Robert Crumb s'impose avec Zap Comix comme le chef de file du mouvement underground aux États-Unis. Posant les jalons des mondes multiples que cette révolution graphique a engendrés, un ensemble de planches d'auteurs majeurs de cette période, ainsi que de spectaculaires publications sont présentés dans la toute première salle. Autour d'un espace central, une scénographie en rayon déploie ensuite en douze thématiques le parcours de l'exposition, convoquant les imaginaires de la bande dessinée, les émotions qu'elle suscite, ainsi que la diversité des techniques artistiques employées. Plusieurs salons de lecture offrent au visiteur un temps de pause et d'approfondissement.[...] Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

When The Flood first started doing this song some 40 years ago, Charlie's sweet mother asked where such an odd little tune came from. We didn't want to tell her the truth.“Mom, it was a popular party song in the late 1920s.” Well, that wasn't a complete lie. It's just that the “parties” where this song was born started very late at night and were in a part of town where nice girls generally didn't go. Stump's SongThe song we've always called “Yas Yas Duck” is an old hokum jazz tune that has been recorded under a lot of different names for nearly a century now.The first recording was made in St. Louis by the great piano pounder James “Stump” Johnson who released it in January 1929 as “The Duck Yas-Yas-Yas.” He recorded his song at least three times during his career, which ended with his death at 67 in 1969.Also in 1929, new versions started cropping up. Flood heroes Tampa Red and Georgia Tom recorded a version on May 13, 1929. That's where we learned it.But a particularly popular rendition also was done by Oliver Cobb and his Rhythm Kings on Aug. 16, 1929, about a year before his untimely death. In most versions, the song is perhaps best known for its opening lyrics: Mama bought a rooster, Thought it was a duck. Brought it to the table with its legs straight up …And, Uh, About That “Party”…Wikipedia just tells it like it is (or was). “The song,” it reports, “is a ‘whorehouse tune,' a popular St. Louis party song." (See there, mom? It says it right there! “Party song …”) The title, Wikipedia goes on, is explained by the verse that goes, Shake your shoulders, shake 'em fast, if you can't shake your shoulders, shake your yas-yas-yas.The Duck in the ‘60sFolkies learned the song in 1961 when the legendary Dave Van Ronk released it as "Yas Yas Yas" on his Van Ronk Sings album (though Dave's source was a variant recorded in the Bahamas by Blind Blake & his Royal Victoria Hotel Calypso Band, released as "Yes! Yes! Yes!" in 1951).Meanwhile, in 1967 cartoonist R. Crumb used the song in his comic strip album Zap Comix, No. 0, quoting it in the first panel of a story called "Ducks Yas Yas." Crumb also later recorded the tune with his band, The Good Tone Banjo Boys, on a transparent red vinyl 78 rpm stereo record in 1972.Our Take on the TuneFor us, “Yas Yas Duck” became a kind of connective tissue between today and our jug band roots of the 1970s and '80s. That's why we put it on our first commercial album back in 2001, and why it still gets trotted out regularly at rehearsals, just so newer folks coming to the band room can learn it. Recently, it was Jack Nuckols' turn. As you can hear here, Jack's drumming has brought us a whole new class of cool. Whether it's his tasty solos, or rocking along with Randy's bass under Charlie's vocals, or making his wise and witty contributions to the ensemble supporting Danny and Sam's solos, Jack's rhythms have us all wanting to get up and dance.

It's the last episode of the year! Let's end this garbage year on a high note, shall we? I spoke to director Michael Walker (whose new film PAINT is on demand everywhere right now!) about his love for Robert Crumb's era defining Zap Comix No. 1. We delve into the enormous influence Crumb has had on the comic industry and on the world of fine art. In my totally unbiased opinion, it's a great episode! Check it ouuuuuuut!!Michael WalkerZap Comix No. 1The Vanishing Half

Robert Crumb is a counterculture legend.Now aged 77 he remains a prolific artist who has contributed to many of the seminal works of the underground comix movement in the 1960s, including Zap Comix, the East Village Other and Weirdo , creating characters such as Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural and his cartoon strip Keep on Truckin' . In this episode he speaks openly about music, the 1960s San Francisco scene, his use of psychedelics and the ultimate backlash against his work that explored his own sexuality. I first came in contact with Robert Crumb a few years ago when he generously agreed to do the cover for my book, Play From Your Fucking Heart.  I was so honoured that he did that and really quite surprised when he agreed to appear on this show because he doesn't usually do podcasts and I found him to be a funny, warm, open hearted brave and humble man, and as is often the case with my guests, I could have talked to him for hours.Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_CrumbWebsite - https://www.crumbproducts.com/Title track composed by Jerry Hyde and Nick Van Gelder, produced by Nick Van Gelder, keyboards by Kenny Dickenson, brass by Noel Langley, vocals by Sian O'Gorman.     

Robert Crumb is a dirty cartoonist whose independent comic work is known for satirizing contemporary American culture. Inspired by psychedelics and cartoons from the 1920s, Crumb published the first successful underground magazine, Zap Comix. Though his work often flirted with scatological and pornographic themes, Crumb is best known for creating counter cultural icons Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, and the “Keep on Truckin” guy. So, today we’re gonna talk about Philadelphia's filthiest independent illustrator; R. Crumb.

Robert Crumb is an American cartoonist and musician. His work displays a nostalgia for American folk culture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and satire of contemporary American culture. His band Robert Crumb and the Cheap Suit Serenades released 3 albums on the Blue Goose record label, featuring pre-war acoustic blues, rags and old time classics. Crumb is a prolific artist and contributed to the publication, Zap Comix. Inspired by psychedelics and cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s, he introduced a wide variety of characters that became extremely popular, including cultural icons Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural, and the images from his Keep on Truckin' strip. In this episode, we explore Crumb's time working for American Greetings in Cleveland, Ohio at the now iconic 78th Street Studios building. Special musical guest: Tim Easton.

Our first guest Mark Bryan, a visual satirical genius: “Raised in the middle class suburbs of Los Angeles County during the 1950s and 60s, Bryan was immersed in the popular culture of that time and place. Low budget Sci-Fi and horror movies, Super hero comic books, Mad Magazine, surrealist art and later the psychedelic work of Zap Comix artists such as Robert Crumb and Robert Williams were all part of the esthetic and psychological mix surrounding him. These influences combined with significant political events (which included The Red Scare, Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War) shaped and promoted an early political awareness and continues to affect the style and content of his work” ******* 2nd segment guests will be Carol Hoover and Dune Lankard (in Alaska), Executive Directors of the Eyak Preservation Council www.eyakpreservationcouncil.org  Where Wild Salmon Rule  to honor their dedication resulting in these heartening victories: “An entire watershed is valued as priceless and now is forever protected from unwarranted development, keeping fossil fuels in the ground, eliminating carbon emissions in a region where we can still drink from our rivers, have clean air to breathe, and where we still have some of the tallest coastal glacier capped mountains in the world.” “This is a precedent-setting carbon conservation accomplishment that is monumental for numerous reasons,” said Dune Lankard, one of the founders of the Native Conservancy Land Trust and the founder of the Eyak Preservation Council. “Preserving the Bering River and Carbon Mountain watersheds not only addresses climate change in a real way, but also protects the ancestral homelands of the Chugach shareholders and maintains our vibrant subsistence and commercial fishing way of life,” Lankard said in an interview with The Cordova Times on Jan. 24. “I am proud of Chugach Alaska Corp. for doing their part as Alaska Native Claim Settlement Act stewards in protecting the Copper River Delta. What a lot of people don't realize is that the Chugach National Forest is still 98 percent roadless, and wild. The EPC and many, many Cordova residents, and fishermen, have worked tirelessly to keep it this way,” Lankard said. http://www.thecordovatimes.com/2017/01/25/bering-river-coal-field-rights-retired/ http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/article/Alaska-Natives-to-protect-land-for-California-10886443.php The post The Visionary Activist Show – Liberating Satire and a Great Environmental Victory appeared first on KPFA.

You are listening to the 100th episode of the Savvy Painter podcast! To commemorate this exciting event, I’ve been working on something special for you. I’m collecting the very best quotes and observations from artists interviewed on the Savvy Painter into an ebook. You can sign up to get your free copy at http://savvypainter.com/ebook In the early eighties, Trici Venola was an early adopter and jumped into the digital art scene. She created fonts for Zap Comix artists including Robert Crumb. She got to know the comic artists she adored and was in the very first issue of Juxtapoz Magazine. I was introduced to Trici by good friends of mine, Rachel and Dan DiPaola, back when I was a young punk, fresh out of college working at Disney. Rachel was the project manager, I needed some help, so Rachel brought in Trici. Years later, Trici abandoned everything and moved to Istanbul, Turkey to draw the architecture and the people there. As she will tell you, it was a very bumpy road. She has many colorful stories of the experiences she has had in Istanbul. She candidly describes her mistakes and the consequences she and the people she loved suffered because of her decisions. It has been 17 years since she fell in love with Istanbul. She has published two books: Drawing on Istanbul 1 and 2. Her obsession with documenting the culture and architecture continues unabated, despite the many obstacles in her way.

Welcome to Episode 41 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with Charles Brownstein, Executive Director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. “It’s important to be able to disagree and offend…Its more important to have the opportunity to be wrong or to have the opportunity to be offended than to go through life where nothing challenges or nothing has a rough edge. “ Free speech and censorship are the topics of today’s episode. Charle has been the Executive Director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) since 2002. Charles gives us some background on how and when he became interested in both comics and free-speech issues, beginning in childhood with movies like Pump up the Volume and Batman (1989). Charles discusses growing up in the 90’s, and interviewing artists such as Frank Miller, Alan Moore, and Will Eisner for a magazine he published in high school. Most of this interview focuses on the problem of censorship, and how First Amendment rights are at risk as a result of print-media protests. We’ll discuss a number of historic free-speech cases from the last 20 years, and Charles will talk about the importance of protecting speech rights regardless of how a piece of art makes someone feel. Charles covers vulgarity in comic books, school library books of “sensitive nature,” and why Manga is not child pornography. Lastly, we discuss the “chilling effect” or the psychological impact censoring acts have on artists and art culture, and the importance of protecting free speech at all costs.
