Ted's evocation of some warmly remembered Crumb characters prompts me, a
little timidly, to ask what the Angelfood McSpade/cultural-conventions-of-beauty
conversation (not all of which was I able to read, unfortunately, so maybe
somebody pointed this out already) would have gone like if it considered
Angelfood's white counterpart (and a personal fave), a woman also possessing
*those* Siegelian buttocks, and a propensity to end up on the wrong end of
something nasty. Yes, let's hear it for HONEYBUNCH KOMINSKY!!!! (And what
does her physiognomical resemblence to Angelfood mean? That Crumb is a really
subtle artist? a limited draughtsman? a sexist lout?
I put this question to Mr. Natural and I don't have to tell you what he said:
"Doan mean shit."
