Big Yum Yum Book - The Story of Oggie And The Beanstalk by R. Crumb
Published by Snow Lion Graphics 1995. Written and illustrated by Robert Crumb, Introduction by Harvey Pekar, Foreword by Dana Crumb. Softcover. $20.00 cover price.
From the Introduction To the First Edition:
"I just want to explain to the reader that I drew this story when I was nineteen years old and still a virgin... Now I’m thirty years old and the the book seems somewhat adolescent and immature to me.
I gave the book to Dana when I first met her, as a token of my love. We got married shortly after. It has been hidden away all these years, along with some early sketchbooks of mine,and other sophomoric-romantic works done in the throes of horny passion.
But now the time has come to review it to the world...I guess. Personally it embarrasses me now, but probably a lot of people will like it better than the stuff I turn out currently. Others, I’m sure, will put it down for being too cute, etc. Well, ya can’t please everybody.
Anyway, I worked very hard on this book. It took six months of earnest labor. All the color was done with Prismacolor pencils. The year was 1963. I’ve changed a lot and so has my work, but this does have a certain charm. Dana loved me for it."
--- R. Crumb
