🦋 Genesis
Excellent news today -- R. Crumb has announced the completion of his new book, which is a retelling of Genesis. I can't imagine anything better than R. Crumb's take on Genesis, unless maybe it were R. Crumb's take on Samuel -- since he has not done that yet this will surely suffice. Speaking of the Old Testament, this Passover Haggadah is just hilarious.
Crumb has been working on this for a long time: he talks about it in this four-year-old Time interview, which has a sample page:
A couple of other sketches from the book are available at on-panel.com and at Yale University Press.Crumb tells the NY Times, "It's lurid. Full of all kinds of crazy, weird things that will really surprise people."

Yeah, it's nice to be able to pre-order this stuff. I have not yet but prolly will. I'm a little high from finding out so close together, Crumb and Pekar both have big new books coming out.
