Dueling comic.
March 23, 2011
Have you ever wondered what Robert Crumb thinks of the new issue of Blammo? Well, here’s a quote from a recent letter to my publisher Kilgore:
”Thanks for the copy of Blammo #7…I thought it was his best work yet…if he sticks with it he will soon reach the top ranks of comic-book artists…the story of the pathetic loser who gets conned by the girl on the bus was my favorite…his work advances both in the writing and the drawing…” — R.C.
The below comic is from The Hypo. It’s a part of the introduction to the book. All of the narration is written in a present tense, as if the story is unraveling presently and the present is the early to mid 1800′s.
Praise from Crumb — nice!
Love seeing new pages from The Hypo, too.
That looks great man!
Congrats on the Crumb letter as wel
Oh man, that is awesome. Crumb’s right, too.
Congrats!
In my book you are already “top ranks.”
Keep up the great work Noah!
The Hypo looks like the business, I want one!
Someday! As soon as I can finish the thing.
Holy crap times two!
How do we know the letter wasn’t written by a Robert Crumb imposter? Let’s see the original!
Love,
Bob
