Carl Barks + Basil Wolverton = Genius R. Crumb

[madahad9]

Robert Crumb is amazing. Crumb is one of my favorite documentaries that I watch periodically whenever I want a little creative boost. America's loss is France's gain.

Second: Uhhh...was it really Unca Carl who invented/established the splash panel in comics?

Guys, that Gladstone pic at 1:27 ain't by Unca Carl, it's by his (kinda controversial) heir Don Rosa, who in fact is often compared in his drawing style to Crumb and other underground cartoonists (which, in fact, is why a lot of "classic Barks" fans don't like Don for being so "mature" and "dirty" in his drawings). Any Duck and underground fan in the US who hasn't heard about Don really should look him up! He's also been influenced a lot by Howard the Duck (the *COMIC*, not that stupid movie!)

Nice video! Thanks for posting... if I ever wind up in Oregon I'll try and check out your shop. Maybe even buy something too ;)

Interesting point! He comes to CounterMedia once in a while - maybe he'll tell Charles Boucher what he thinks -- that is if he has seen the video --next time he's in.

Interesting video,wonder what Crumb would think of that background music though?

@sonofkongajoe he would probably hate it as I do.
