Your Questions About Robert Crumb
Jun 26th, 2011 by Aldouspi

Maria asks…

Why is Robert Crumb considered a “real” artist??

I am doing a paper for my school, and the topic asks why Robert Crumb is now considered a “real” artist. And why are most other comic book writers today considered hacks and no talents??

Thanks, any sources would be especially helpful

Pin-up answers:

First, I need to say that most comic book artists are not hacks, there are many great talents…

To answer your question, Robert Crumb didn’t just copy someone else’s idea or style, as a hack would do.

Instead he made his art his own, taking his personal view and thoughts of the world and creating a unique style of art. His ability to draw, create characters and stories – humor and pathos, and hotness is amazing – we are privileged. And this came about because he is passionate about his work, and dedicated his life to honing his craft and art.

It’s not that other comic book artists of his generation are untalented, many are real artists, too. It’s just that his style was just more appreciated, more likable, or just more appealing than other artists. His audience went from the underground to mainstream – he is good. Obviously I like his work, thus biased, but many agree he is most definitely talented.

Artists who outlet all their emotions ( and intellect) through their work are going to be appreciated…

Lizzie asks…

What can you tell me about Robert Crumb born today 1943?

All I know is he is / would be celebrating his 66th birthday and Yahoo seems to think he is an author.

Pin-up answers:

He is a rare breed. A cartoonist in the Hogarth mode. One of the few USA satirists! He has published many books of his artistic work as well magazines, etc.

Helen asks…

What do you think about Robert Crumb ?

Any Crumb fans ? Did you crack up after watching his autobiographical documentary ?

Pin-up answers:

I love good film biographies of artists from Rembrandt to Georgia O’Keefe to Robert Crumb. I enjoyed the mainstream film about his life and wished I owned more of his work. Thankfully, he is well published.

Laura asks…

Who Is Your Favorite Robert Crumb Cartoon Character?

I’ll go with “Mr. Natural.”

What is your favorite?

Pin-up answers:

I like Mr. Natural and Flakey Foont, Fritz the cat was great, Zap Comix were classics! But how about a cheer for Robert Crumb’s representations of himself…

Carol asks…

How much is ‘The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat’ by Robert Crumb worth?

I’m looking to buy it as a present, but I don’t want to get ripped off. Thanks.

Pin-up answers:

There is a hardcover version coming out soon (from today’s date) which is around $20 on Amazon

The Art of Walt Disney's Donald Duck
Sep 25th, 2010 by Aldouspi

Donald Duck

The Art of Walt Disney’s Donald Duck

I don’t know anybody who hasn’t heard of that lovable cartoon character, Donald Duck.

Did you know that Donald Duck’s real name is Donald Fauntleroy Duck. He is my favorite cartoon character created by Walt Disney and the Walt Disney Company. Donald Duck is a typical white duck with an orange beak, legs and feet. You will usually only see him in his sailor shirt, cap, red bow tie and no trousers. He has been voted as the third most popular cartoon character of all time with just Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny topping him.

We can’t help loving him, mostly for his unique personality – his impatience and his explosive temper. Although he is
Mickey Mouse’s best friend, they couldn’t be more different in character.

Donald Duck’s birthday was originally recognized as the 9th
of June 1934, which was the day he made his first appearance in a supporting role in the film, The Wise Little Hen. His birthday is now given as the 13th of March 1942 as he states in his film The Three Caballeros which was released in 1944. More often he is said to have been born on Friday the 13th, as he always seems to have bad luck or get himself into trouble.

Der Fuehrer’s Face was the Movie that Donald Duck won his first Academy Award for. During the 1940’s he featured in more cartoons than his best friend Mickey Mouse.

One of the most famous things about Donald Duck is his angry and nasal voice. This was done by Clarence “Ducky” Nash right up to his death in 1985. Since 1985 the voice has been done by Tony Anselmo, who was trained by Clarence for the role. Donald Duck’s screen personality was created by Dick Lundy, who is a wonderful animator.

Donald also has an extensive cartoon family including his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, who cause him even more irritation. His Fathers name is Quackmore Duck and his Mother is Hortense Mcduck. He has a wealthy uncle, Scrooge McDuck, another uncle Ludwig Von Drake, an Aunt Bertie Duck, a cousin Gladstone Gander and even a Grandma that lives with his nephews in Duckburg. He has a twin sister Della Thelma Duck, whom we don’t see that often and a brother Duffy Duck.

There are a number of quotes that Donald Duck says on a regular basis that have become famous. They include, “Oh, yeah?”, “Hiya, toots!”, “Aw, phooey!”, “Nothin’ to it!” and his most famous, “Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!”

Love him or hate him, everyone enjoys a Donald Duck Cartoon.
