Die 17 Gesichter des Robert Crumb #[nn]
In "Die 17 Gesichter des R. Crumb," Robert Crumb finds himself the subject of a television interview that takes a surreal turn when the interviewer suggests his most outrageous work might carry deeper meaning. With Crumb’s signature blend of raw humor and unsettling detail, the issue unfolds as a probing, self-aware exploration of art, identity, and the line between creator and creation—drawn and inked entirely by Crumb himself, with cover art by Crumb.
In "Pete der Klempner," a broken-down plumber reaches his breaking point and tries to end it all by flushing himself down the toilet—only to tumble through a surreal labyrinth of pipes and emerge in a bizarre, unexpected world. The story follows Pete’s bewildering journey through this strange new reality, where plumbing meets the absurd.
In this satirical take from *Die 17 Gesichter des Robert Crumb*, Robert Crumb finds himself on a TV interview, playing the role of the bemused, self-aware provocateur—until the interviewer dares to suggest his most outrageous work might carry deeper meaning. The moment cracks the veneer of his performance, setting off a quiet, unsettling shift in the room.
