Robert Crumb Hand-Lettered Note to Marty Pahls (1961). Robert's twelve-page note to his best friend Marty, discussing Crumb's art classes (he was fond of his sculpting class); old records; an unfinished Jim and Mabel "Treasure Island" book that Robert and Charles had been working on (two hundred pages, two panels per page); Robert's self-published Arcade comic and other fanzines; Marty's novel; a scout from the Famous Artist's school, who was not impressed with the Crumb brothers' work; personal stuff, and more. He includes a sketch of the Crumb family cat, Fred, which would be the inspiration for Fritz. The entire note is composed on folded letter paper in a booklet form, in graphite, and is in Very Good condition. The original "Note" cover is not included with this lot, although we have provided an black and white photocopy.

Alternate Artist Spellings: "Crumb, R.", "Crumb, Robert", "Robert Crumb"
