Somebody once said he did a comic confessing to rape, really hope that's not true but do you guys have any idea what comic might be meant? If it was true I would have thought it'd be brought up more regularly instead of the decapitation fantasy stuff.

i'd guess the conclusion to the "memories are made of this" comic that's excerpted in the interview

Is that record collecting comic before or after the one Pekar did about when he abruptly stopped listening/buying jazz? I don't recall if Pekar got rid of his collection but I know he got back into listening to jazz, or sounds like he did from this really great interview. http://bookotron.com/agony/news/2010/07-12-10-podcast.htm#podcast071410
I think most people who get rid of their collections will feel great for a while but probably end up rebuilding it, but smaller and more sensibly and probably regret getting rid of so many things.
I got rid of half my comics once and there was a bunch of things I regretted that I ended up buying again. Some things I'm getting rid of a second time which I'm fairly sure I won't buy a third time. I once accidentally deleted my whole digital pornography collection then was hesitant to save any such images again but after several months I inevitably started building it up again. So I'm fairly confident that getting rid of all my stuff would be an utterly stupid idea, however much a burden it feels at times.
I really don't get people who can just give away everything immediately after they've finished with it. Especially music or art books.

There's an exhibition of his Art And Beauty images right now and then a book set comes out in a few months. This is the stuff I've most wanted. Never really been interested in his comics.
Apparently a lot of the newest stuff is drawn from selfies that girls have sent him. Really looking forward to seeing that.

unrepentant to the end.
its weird how he doesn't connect his compulsive confessionalism to his Catholic upbringing. Maybe he has elsewhere and just doesn't touch on it in this interview.
The only other cultural tradition I can think of besides Catholicism that places so much emphasis on confession - as if its a virtue in and of itself - is psychoanalysis.

Has he ever commented on the whole Thicc phenomenon? Seems like an improvement in society he would like.

Looks like an update based on the comments, but the hyperallergic article now says: "(These drawings appear to replicate those of cartoonist R. Crumb and his comic strip Stoned, included in Head Comix, a collection of his comics published by Viking Press in 1968.)"
― nickn, Monday, 10 August 2020 20:02 (three years ago) link
yeah, that wasn't there this morning; editor dropped the ball. no reference to crumb at all in the gallery description!in any case, pretty sure those are from Zap originally.

Does a gallery of all 9 original panels of "A Short History of America" exist online in a decent (or *gasp* high) resolution?

fairly large

Ah, I never realized this was originally b/w, I wonder if he colored it in for later editions?
Thank you very much.

The original comic is in black and white ink, consisting of a total of twelve panels.[7]
In 1981, a new version was released by Kitchen Sink Press, with Peter Poplaski adding color to the original work and turning it into a commercial poster for sale.[9]
