Cover of Hup #2 / 2. Poster for Angouleme Comics Festival (shows my head bursting open and 15 or so characters flying out including Mr. Natural…Fritz the Cat…Devil Girl… / 3. Complete Crumb #8 cover, showing Fritz the Cat about to be stabbed in the head by Ostrich Girl… / 4. A drawing of ‘Devil Girl,’ Mr. Natural & Flakey Foont, done for a limited-edition print…I will trade you any two of these for the three things I want from you — ‘You're So Silly", the Danie Coloring Book’ and ‘Danie's Pink Rose.’” In fine condition. Accompanied by the original hand-addressed mailing envelope.
