Countdown to Halloween!

Only 7 Days till Fright Night, and we are counting down each day with a scary R. Crumb cover from "Weirdo" comics.

Today's cover is Weirdo No. 8 illustrated by Robert Crumb in the summer of 1983. At that time Crumb was also the editor of the comic anthology which was published by Last Gasp.

The subject appears to be on his last nerve.
Enjoy!

Who's Afraid of Robert Crumb?

Just in time for Halloween, we have added this great R. Crumb self portrait to our t-shirt collection. You can sport this image of R. "Harmless Nut" Crumb in both long and short sleeve tees, or if you need a bit more cover we have it available now in our cozy hooded sweatshirts as well.

Don't be Afraid, Relax, just gaze into Crumb's third eye and Open Your Mind....and enjoy 15% off this new offering available exclusively at Keep On Truckin' Apparel.
Sale ends October 31, 2013.
