In another Facebook group I follow, dedicated to the underground comix of the 60s and 70s, I recently saw one of R. Crumb’s cartoons where he obsesses over his “ideal” female form and then another where he starts beating himself up over the fact that he just can’t stop his libido from doing that to him and what goddess would want him anyway…and so forth. The running joke in A Coming Out Story<\/a><\/em> is how low key and apologetic my libido is, almost the complete opposite of Crumb’s, and yet still manages to be totally relentless and thoroughly single minded about it. So I thought to try my hand at a cartoon about that while riffing off one or two of Crumb’s.\u00a0<\/p>\n Still working on the figure above…I might give him a hat like the one a bartender at a local eatery I favor, who I can’t stop gawking at any better than Crumb could, wears. Also maybe a bandanna hanging out of one of his back pockets. If I manage to get it finished I’ll post it here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just whiling the after work time away on my iPad Pro yesterday… …in between working on the backyard deck, which is turning into an all-summer project.\u00a0 In another Facebook group I follow, dedicated to the underground comix of the 60s and 70s, I recently saw one of R.
