Robert Crumb on Collectors

[John B]

"Picking up chicks? Forget it! It never gets them hot, they don’t give a shit about collectors."
"You can go up to them (women) and say, ‘I’m an outlaw bandit’ and they’ll like that. But if you say, ‘I’m a collector’ - no chance.”"

I'm going to send a prostitute over to R. Crumb a.s.a.p.

Swampy is a "record junkie". I've seen him do it in the alley by Amoeba once. I told him he needs to get help but, he's still a junkie. Very sad. . .

I'm a bill collector.

I met Crumb once. He was a timid person.

[HomeBrewed]

I met Timmy once. He was a crumby person.

If you think moving records is hard, try moving your pinball machine collection. I used to have to rent a 24' truck.

I had a guy at Flatstock hem and haw for like a minute over the last copy of one of my posters because there was a slight bend in one corner from being the display copy - like maybe 1/16". It doesn't matter what they collect, they're all very similar.

[Zach Hobbs]

at least they came to your booth! PHOOOEY!

[NoRelation]

I told a couple of hot chicks at work about my poster collecting. I will never mention it again.

If I was you, I would have ripped it in half or, better yet, given it for free to the next person walking by.




But I'm not you.



I'm me.
