Jay Lynch and Robert Crumb visit Chester Gould
Underground cartoonist Jay Lynch (best known for his characters Nard N’ Pat) has been doing some nice collaborations with cartoonist Ed Piskor on some stories about his past adventures with other underground cartoonists… check out this one with Jay Lynch and Robert Crumb visiting Dick Tracy artist Chester Gould. The story about that wall is heartbreaking…
Here are their other collaborations online:
Port Authority (with Art Spiegelman)
Dead Rat (with Skip Williamson)
Monkeymind! (with Justin Green)
White Album (with Spain Rodriguez)
Crumb’s Hat (with Robert Crumb)
Ed Piskor has also collabotated a lot with Harvey Pekar. Check out his other online comics here.
