"Crumb originally drew this image in 1969 for a magazine cover which was originally printed on newsprint in black and white But Crumb colored this image 52 years later for the serigraph edition we published in 2022. That 110 print edition sold out earlier this year. This new Creem giclée edition is based upon that now sold-out serigraph edition because Crumb's coloring job was so brilliant! We're now offering this image to those of you who didn't get a change to purchase that serigraph. This new edition is printed on Somerset Velvet archival white paper, which is 18 inches x 24 inches. The image, printed with Epson Ultrachrom archival inks, is 13 inches x 17.5 inches (not including the cream border). There are 300 prints in this edition and each print is hand-numbered."In 1969, while passing through Detroit, Crumb was requested to draw the cover for a new Rock n' Roll newspaper called Creem. Being a leader in the underground art movement, Crumb obliged the youngsters in Detroit. But he did it with mixed feelings–Crumb did not appreciate modern pop music. So, while on one hand he gave them what they wanted, on the other he slyly added his own allegory: the pop music industry (the spray can–Mr. Dreamwhip) saturating the kids with white, fluffy junk.
