Jeremy Eaton on Crumb’s Underground

Jeremy Eaton surveys the just-ended R. Crumb show at Seattle's Frye Museum. It was amazing having that Crumb show up for the last two months or so. It felt like we were living in a parallel universe where Crumb was a more ubiquitous artistic presence in this town than Dale Chihuly. The amount of books by R. Crumb that were purchased in this town over the last two months is going to cause ripples that will reverberate for generations. In 2020, everyone in Seattle will look like this guy.
