Inte för alla...

Tvärs över gatan där jag bor håller dom på och bygger nya hyres och bostadsrätter, och det är ju bra i dessa bostadsbristtider. Totalt skall det bli 450 lägenheter i Sabbatsbergsområdet.
Kommer det då bli möjligt för de med mindre pengar i plånboken att få bo centralt...knappast! En trerummare i det här huset (det första) kommer att ha en månadshyra på ca 13 000 kr, och värden kräver att hyresgästen skall ha en årsinkomst brutto på ca 470 000.
Inte för alla direkt, och absolut inte för vårdpersonalen på det närliggande sjukhuset.

En gammal fin serietidning i min bokhylla.

Robert Crumb om Zap Comix # 0:
"It was Rick Griffin who thought of calling this one number 'Zero'. We were then in the process of putting together Zap Comix #2, that is, me, Rick Griffin, Victor Moscoso and Clay Wilson, in the summer of '68. I was 25 years old, going on 26. Zap Comix #1 had been out, in print, since February of that year. I had finished drawing number "Zero" before #1, but the original artwork, all 24 pages, had been absconded, and I didn't see it again until ten years later, when I had it in my hands briefly before it was again absconded. Fortunately, I had made xerox copies of all the artwork and it was from these xeroxes that all subsequent printings of this artwork originated, except the cover. I wasn't happy with the cover, and redrew it, using basically the same idea and logo with modifications.

Obviously this cover was very LSD-inspired. At the time I drew it, late summer or early fall of 1967, I was taking LSD fairly frequently. Not as frequently as some people, but, say once every six weeks or so—often enough to be convinced that psychedelic drugs were a short-cut to enlightenment. I would not listen to anyone who said differently, because I knew! I'd taken the trips! I'd been there! These days, I'm not so sure. The verdict's not in. One thing is obvious here: this cover is a reflection of the times; it's 1967; a young cartoonist is jacked up out of his mind on drugs and thinking it's great stuff."

Jag gillar Crumb, både de serien han skrev själv och de han tecknade åt andra.

Om du inte redan sett den så kan jag verkligen rekommendera filmen "American Splendor", en slags spelad självbiografi av Harvey Pekar, där bland annat hans förhållande med Crumb tas upp.
