Freak Brothers comic strip not by R. Crumb[edit]

The article accredits the "Freak Brothers" comic strip to R. Crumb, but it was created by Gilbert Shelton. see Freak_brothers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pigpen70 (talk • contribs) 19:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"small village in the South of France"[edit]

is about all anyone needs to know. I don't know if this has been dicussed before, but the Crumbs have indicated many times that they don't particularly wish to have their exact coordinates broadcast (and publishing the name of the village is more than sufficient to encourage stalkers). I know that misguided fans can probably still get the information somewhere else, but there's no need to push the info out there for them. Whiskey Pete 00:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, but the crumbs do not have to decide this, or anything else in this article 89.217.19.130 19:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The house in France was more accurately described as a "chateau" not a "castle". Hard to imagine Crumb in a castle. K8 fan 05:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Chateau" is the French word for castle, so I don't see your point.--Spiff666 (talk) 16:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A chateau and a castle are two different things. Although the words are often used interchangably, they refer to different things. A castle is a fortified building, whereas a chateau is more akin to a manor house - they vary in size considerably and some are fortified and large, although most are small and more like a large house. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.6.175 (talk) 13:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, some French Chateaux are definitely castles, and some are not. -- Jibal (talk) 06:57, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They actually live IN Sauve in the center of the medieval village, not in a chateau, but in a regular old village attached house that was fixed at the time they moved in and keeps most of its original character with lots of charm and not much of modern comfort, not that big at all!!! Pretty humble, actually. Many people from humble backgrounds live in the same type of home. The home would resemble a chateau only by its age, but is not otherwise a chateau by any mean.108.35.41.214 (talk) 10:24, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Top Importance?[edit]

There's a discussion on which comic-related articles should be listed as "Top Importance" on the importance scale, and I feel this article should not be included. If any user disagrees or wishes to contribute, please do so there. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:47, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a source of constant amusement and/or irritation to me that Wikipedia always slants things toward acceptance of the Euro-American mainstream, and non-acceptance (or occasionally even outright denunciation) of other viewpoints and sub-cultures. Although I personally believe Crumb is an artistic trailblazer and cultural icon of the highest order, I am not going to challenge Wikipedia's right to do things the Wikipedia way. The veneration of superhero escapism over intellectual bravery puzzles me, but then, so does much of modern life.Ramseyman (talk) 02:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Extensive LSD use[edit]

I'm suspicious about the "extensive" LSD use because when I checked one of the two sources, it says nothing about LSD at all. He took his first hit in 1964[1] and his second in 1966[2] which doesn't sound extensive to me, although he could have picked up the pace later. Does the Coffee Table source support "extensive"?

Images[edit]

Both examples of Crumb's work in this article are non-free; however, we have one available example of his work that was not copyrighted for lack of notice: File:Helix, v.5, no.9, Dec. 12, 1968 - DPLA - b4b749b194d7f45676e4a241a7cce198 (page 17).jpg, an ad for Zap Comix. I leave it to someone else to decide whether we might want to substitute this for one of the current fair-use images. - Jmabel | Talk 20:17, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
