Description

Fritz the Cat, women and Jazz music vs. rock and roll and Collecting…all in one Crumb letter

Partial ALS signed “R. Crumb,” two pages, August 22, 1992. In part, “'Ma' by Eubie Black is excellent…Anyway, if you want, I’ll do you a small drawing of Fritz the Cat for this bunch of records…I will probably only keep a couple of them - sell and trade the rest, but I think it’s a fair trade for a small drawing…I’ll trade you the original of the cover of ‘Complete’ Crumb #8, which features Fritz, for some more good records…I can get a couple thousand bucks for a cover like that if I want to sell it…R. Crumb P. S. Incredible story you told about carrying around that folded-up page of Fritz the Cat when you were in the Army…did you go to the NAM?…I was pronounced 4-F in 1963…you thought Winston was the ‘foxiest bitch’ I ever drew…Also of interest was your description of your moment of 'enlightenment' at the age of 15, hearing your first 1920's jazz record, summer of ‘64…this happened to me also at the age of 15.” In fine condition, with bisecting vertical folds to both pages. COA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
