There is absolutely no single aspect of one’s personality that is more important to develop than empathy, which is not a skill at which men typically are asked to excel. I believe empathy is not only the core of art, literature and music, but should also be at the core of society, from ethics to economics.

Playdate (front cover for The New Yorker) Chris Ware 2015
Chris Ware is a cartoonist, writer and frequent cover artist of The New Yorker. His most recent comic book is “Rusty Brown”. To find out more about his inspiration behind this cover, be sure to check out his cover story article here
Page from Weirdo magazine Robert Crumb 1993
Social outcasts are a mainstay for many of Robert Crumb’s cartoons. In this drawing, a crazed beggar directly addresses the viewer, praising comics as a “one of the most significant cultural artefacts of this era”. Could this be a thinly veiled disguise of Crumb’s personal views on the comic book medium? Or perhaps a tongue-in-cheek satire on the comic book nerd stereotype?
Christmas Shopping/ Sale in Progress H.M Bateman About early 1930s
The saying ‘shop till you drop’ takes on a visual identity with H.M Batman’s watercolour cartoon. This cluttered scene of fanatic shoppers scrambling to literally find their feet, captures the hectic shopping spirit induced by flash sales or panic buying. Just remember folks, always keep your receipt!
Fantagraphics recently announced a new book Daniel Clowes: The Fantagraphics Studio Edition (cover shown is not the final cover), with an October 2019 release date. The Fantagraphics website offers this description:
Daniel Clowes: The Fantagraphics Studio Edition turns the spotlight on one of the medium’s most dynamic creators. This edition draws from Clowes’s nearly 35 years of comics art, ranging from some of his earliest published work, 1986’s Lloyd Llewelyn, to his seminal one-man anthology, Eightball (in which Ghost World was originally serialized), and includes samples from his most recent graphic novel, 2016’s best-selling time travel thriller, Patience.
The edition features over 120 pages of art, each reproduced as exact facsimiles of the original to best showcase every detail of the artist’s cartooning process. Carefully curated by the artist himself, many of these pages have hung in museums around the country, and now you can enjoy them in your own library.

Get excited everyone...Daniel Clowes is launching a new book! Release date: Oct 2019
Poster by Daniel Clowes for David Boring. Posted before but at a much smaller size. Via:

Yet another beautiful art piece by Daniel Clowes. The slick black and white make-believe world of David Boring resembles film noir sets of the 1940s.
Fun fact: the two brands of beers in the book "Blight Ale" and "Elba Light" are anagrams of Clowes' iconic Eightball comic.

A big thanks!
Hello virtual world! I wanted to give a big thanks to everyone who follows this Tumblr! 'Ode to Crumb' has little over a 1000 followers, which may not be a lot for some, but for me, it's very exciting. I adore cartoons, and will continue to post art by great cartoonists.
If you know of any artists you'd like to see more work of, feel free to message me and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks again.

You can always rely on Crumb to ask the big questions in life, however don’t expect too many answers ...

Seth, short artist biography and self-portrait, printed in Vernacular Drawings: Sketchbooks of the Cartoonist “Seth”, consolidated & abridged. 2001
A wonderfully apt description of Seth paired with an eloquent caricature. Both text and image allude to Seth’s nostalgic sensibility.

Winsor McCay, Dream of the Rarebit Fiend comic page, c1906, New York Evening Telegram (New York Herald Company).
McCay’s Dream of the Rarebit Fiend is a darker take to the artist’s typical formula of producing sequential art. Rather than taking readers on whimsical journeys through vivid dreams, as seen in Little Nemo In Slumberland, in this series audiences endure fanciful nightmares.
The head of a talented cartoonist named ‘Silas’ gradually increases with each compliment and request of a passersby. Eventually the pressure becomes too great and his head literally explodes, triggering his mind to wake himself up. This strip encompasses the all too familiar nightmare of failing to live up to one’s high expectations.
