Description: Resin wall plaque of R. Crumb's Devil Girl, sculpted from Crumb's design by Randy Bowen. Excellent condition, no flaws . Limited Edition: #24/100. Signed by R. Crumb and Randy Bowen.R. Crumb's Devil Girl plaque, modeled after those taxidermied animal heads hunters hang in their man-caves, seems like an unapologetic nod to one of the artist's more feminist-unfriendly stories, "A Bitchin' Bod!" (Hup #4), in which Mr. Natural and Flaky Foont fornicate with the Devil Girl's headless body.
"In a way, and I realized this later, that character Devil Girl is just another in a long line of dumb American woman caricatures of The Bad Girl. This archetype pops up a lot in low-brow entertainment: comic books, low-grade movies and TV shows and the pulps - the bad girl. The thing the male likes about the bad girl is you can do anything you want to her, because she's bad, she has to be, shall we say, disciplined.... Just a stupid, American male fantasy; yeah, a masturbation fantasy completely. She's big, she's sexy, she's got a terrific body and she's so obnoxious that you just want to annihilate her. And she allows herself to be annihilated. She even likes it. She likes being annihilated.... It's a sex fantasy." -- R. Crumb, "Crumb on Others Part 10," crumbproducts.com.
