Robert Crumb - Original Sketches (1962)
Robert Crumb - Original Sketches (1962). This charming sketch of a baby in the style of an Ivory Soap advertisement is made humorous by the addition of "Chicken-fat" to parody the soap's slogan of purity. Upon reflection, Robert Crumb's rendering of soap lather does look a bit like lard - yuck! The reverse side of this 6.75" x 8.5" page has a random assortment of Crumb's doodles, dominated by a full-figure drawing of a voluptuous woman asking, "Where's Manlove Bradley?" She is undoubtedly an early version of his character Mabel. This great sketchbook page remains in excellent condition. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
