KK-228 Zap Comix Cover No. O Men's T-shirt

There scarcely was an underground comics world before Robert Crumb's classic solo first issue of Zap in 1968. By Zap #2, he had begun assembling a Seven Samurai of the best, the fiercest, and the most stylistically diversified cartoonists to come out of the countercultural kiln. All of them were extremists of one sort or another, from biker-gang member Rodriguez to Christian surfer Griffin, but somehow they produced a decades-long collaboration: a mind-blowing anthology of abstract hallucination, throat-slashing social satire, and shocking sexual excess, that made possible the ongoing wave of alternative cartoonists like Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and Charles Burns. The Complete Zap Comix collects every issue of Zap — every cover and every story, and even the Zam mini comic jam among the Zap artists — in a multi-volume, slipcase hardcover set. It will also include the 17th unpublished issue with work by Crumb, Moscoco, Wilson, Rodriguez, Shelton, Mavrides, and Williams. Plus, an introduction by founder R. Crumb and an oral history of Zap by Patrick Rosenkranz, and other exclusive bonus features and items TBA. Zap is the most historically and aesthetically important comics series ever published.

R. Crumb's Mr. Natural "Get the Right Tool for the Job!"

Mr. Natural "Right Tool for the Job!" T-shirt
Here's a handy hint from Mister Natch: At home or at work....Get The Right Tool For The Job!

Mr. Natural is the creation of Robert Crumb the infamous father of the Underground Comix movement of the 1960's. Mr. Natural first appeared in a 1967 issue of Yarrowstack comics, and went on to many more misadventures at the hand of Crumb.

Fred Natural was a bit of a mystery, as his true origins where never entirely clear. He was thought to have been a hustler from the depression era, who recreated himself as a mystic guru in the 1960's.  He was always ready with plenty of advice for a new generation. Some of it good...some not so much.

This piece of advice is worthy of remembering and embellishment. So pick up one of our Right Tool for the Job t-shirts for your favorite DIY , Do It Yourselfer! On sale now, just in time for holiday gift giving, enjoy 15% off--no coupon code required. Exclusively at Keep On Truckin' Apparel an official licensee of R. Crumb.
