Here Comes Devil Girl!

[stirbird]

I was going to post this in my "Old Timey" erotic art thread, but that's over on the GB, and I figure there's more people in here who will appreciate it. This is R. Crumb at his best, not the really famous cartoon, but a similar episode, which contains the same cast of characters (Mr. Nat., F. Foont, DG).

There are two versions below, in order to accomodate the dial-ups: To get the really big picture, click the thumbnail image. To get the medium "Lit-sized" picture, click the attachment. I can't guarantee the writing will be clear in the medium-sized one, though.

The End.

"She's bad for you!".

I have an page from a Crumb work, too big to post here. Let's just say the guy has strong sadist/dom tendencies.

Anyone who has never seen the Terry Zwigoff documentary Crumb should do so at once. One of the best docs I've ever seen.

That is so great. Mr. Natural fucking the devil girl--somehow hot, hilarious, ridiculous and nasty. I love how his beard sticks straight out when he Os and he says "oof!". Just says it all. Crumb is a fuckin' genius.

"The capacity for withering irony enabled Robert to cope with the hurtful rejections from women experienced throughout his 'teens -- which he speaks about, and draws ceaselessly. Crumb's typical spindly hero seems barely post-adolescent. He quails in fear and desire before a huge dominatrix with "shapely, powerful legs". When he isn't fleeing the wrath of this fearful Maillol-like figure, he's at her feet, or riding on her back. Occasionally he gets to service her sexually, heart in mouth.

A very different, far from humorous persona than this beaten-down wretch emerges from the artist's grimly satisfied account of the pleasures he took from the women who idolized him once he became famous; and from his frequent drawing of woman as an obscenely degraded object -- headless, or with a head jammed into a toilet bowl. These representations pass beyond a meaningful, if repugnant aesthetic into the very stuff of solipsistic pornography (his thick-lipped black stereotypes demonstrate the same enigmatic, disturbing scorn). About such material, he mutters: "Maybe I should be locked up and my pencils taken away...Sometimes I think it's a mistake...but somehow revealing that truth about myself is somehow helpful." Cui bono?, one is prompted to inquire.

Crumb's lovers underscore one's intuition that he's hardly the Milquetoast of his strips. Both by their and his account, he often seems to be living out his conviction that romance is a fiction; that women are essentially drawn to male nastiness, arrogance and power. A former girl friend speaks mordantly about the cool manipulator beneath his helpless facade. Another, who edits magazines like LEG SHOW and BIG BUTT, claims his sensibility is aggressively pornographic at base (she admires it). "

Have you seen Crumb's rendition of P.K. Dick's religious experiences, Rosco? It's not particularly sexy but it's good art.

Love Crumb's stuff! I'm told this may be one of his but I'm not sure.

No that's Serpierie's Druuuuuuuuuuuuna. She's great, too. Second biggest butt in the comics (R. Crumb's girls take first place)

Druna gets raped a lot, even by monsters, which is one thing I like about her. But she's much prettier than most Crumb girls, who tend to be on the exaggerated side. Here's an old Crumb drawing I like:

Thank-you kindly for the FYI. I do love these comics.

Yes. I've seen the Dick thing.

I tried to order the Fantagraphic reissue of the peak Crumb years but most of them are sold out and they do not reprint once the run is gone.

Thank-you kindly for the FYI. I do love these comics.

Druna comics are very sexy. She's just not funny, like Crumb comics are. She's an adventurer who always gets into sexual predicaments, but she loves sex so it really isn't much of a problem--except when they beat her too hard. ;0 In this strip, the scientist guy begins to turn into a monster as soon as he starts to fuck her. I am not sure why. Maybe she has a magic butt?
