CGC certified: VF (8.0). Off-white to white pages. The way the comic sits cockeyed in its slab is somehow perfect for this crazy mag. Robert Crumb story, cover and art. S. Clay Wilson, Rick Griffin Victor Moscoso & Rory Hayes stories and art. First printing with correct issue points as noted in Jay Kennedy's Official Underground and Newave Comix Price Guide: "The dark areas of the cover are comprised of blue ink overlapping orange ink.... There is a faint horizontal line 3/8" up from the bottom of each page. Rory Hayes' 'Shit! Am I ever a horny bitch!' drawing is on page 23 and the juices on it are colored either red or yellow." CGC failed to take note, but this is the "yellow juices" variant. “Perhaps they should just take away my pencils and lock me away." -R. Crumb, Terry Zwigoff's Crumb [Superior Pictures: 1994]. "...All this stuff is deeply embedded in our culture and our collective subconscious, and you have to deal with it.... Some people say that the way I play around with it is too rough... Some people feel personally attacked by it. A perverse part of me likes to take the heat for all that stuff. Then people can hate me and feel righteously indignant about it, but meanwhile, I've brought it all out in the open. I don't know... Maybe I shouldn't do it anymore. It might be dangerous for my health. Somebody eventually is going to want to hurt me for drawing this stuff. I think about that sometimes." -R. Crumb, The R. Crumb Coffee Table Art Book [Kitchen Sink: 1997]. In considering the case for Crumb, it's useful to reflect upon the words of critic Robert Hughes (who described Crumb as "the Bruegel of the 20th century"): "Crumb's material comes out of a deep sense of the absurdity of human life. At a certain kind of psychological level there aren't any heroes, there aren't any villains, there aren't any heroines, and even the victims are comic." -Zwigoff, op. cit.
