Tonight’s image from the Lizard Collection is the R. Crumb classic Motor City Comics, the first printing of issue #1, published in April 1969, featuring Boingy Baxter (a gangster with springs in his shoes) and the devastating Lenore Goldberg and Her Girl Commandos. This book is an R. Crumb creation from front to back.

The back cover is a hilarious send-up of Marxist rhetoric. (Crumb isn’t really a leftist; he’s just weird.)

(Camera: none. These images are scanned for a change, with a Canon MP830.)

 Frank says:

In every language, the first word after "Mama!" that every kid learns to say is "Mine!" A system that doesn't allow ownership, that doesn't allow you to say "Mine!" when you grow up, has -- to put it mildly -- a fatal design flaw. From the time Mr. Developing Nation was forced to read "The Little Red Book" in exchange for a blob of rice, till the time he figured out that waiting in line for a loaf of pumpernickel was boring as f*ck, took about three generations. ... Decades of indoctrination, manipulation, censorship and KGB excursions haven't altered this fact: People want a piece of their own little Something-or-Other, and, if they don't get it, have a tendency to initiate counterrevolution.
