Waiting For Food, Number 3 More Restaurant Placemat Drawings

A collection of placemat drawings done by the renowned & eccentric cartoonist R. Crumb. In the preface he states: Now I have a good reason for making artwork on placemats. I'm no longer simply doodling to pass the time Ôtil the food arrives. I'm earning while waiting to be served! I'm getting paid for it! You see, recently I had an art show of placemat drawings at a gallery in N.Y. & some of these things were sold for thousands of dollars apiece! I was flabbergasted! The foodstains on the paper (which don't show up on the reproductions in these books) actually enhanced the value. To think I used to just walk out & leave these drawings on the table, or give them to anyone who asked for them! What a fool! Well, those days are gone!ÓCrumb, R. is the author of 'Waiting For Food, Number 3 More Restaurant Placemat Drawings', published 2004 under ISBN 9780756775841 and ISBN 0756775841.
