Odds & Ends

Rating:
Summary: pen and ink simplicity.
Review: A good book for entertainment and also if you are learning how to draw. Odds and Ends shows the mature side of Crumb's work as well as the wacky. There are many allusions to organic farming as an idyllic lifestyle. The send ups of miners and farmers are very good examples of the shaping of the environmental world view which was so prevalent in the 1990's.

Summary: Another great collection of Crumb's work
Review: A must for R. Crumb aficionados, this beautifully designed hardcover collects many of the illustrations done for projects as varied as novels, greeting cards, scripts, and birth announcements, as well as unpublished work. Great stuff! R. Crumb is the master of pen and ink.

Summary: What a neat book!
Review: Don't let the fact that it's a remaindered book keep you away! This is a wonderful hardcover collection (no jacket) of Crumb extras: doodles, sketches, advertisements, and comics. The majority are in black and white, but there is some color. Great drawings of Robert Johnson, the Cheap Suit Serenaders, and Tina Lockwood (wooo!), as well as sketches of various women. A few of his trademark characters are also here, including Devil Girl and the Vulture Women. Some photos are included, as well. It's an absolute bargain!
