Love Gary Panter’s punk style. I think he also had connections to Matt Groening and his work pre-Simpsons. There are interesting video interviews of him on RUclips and Pee Wee’s Playhouse was a ground breaking show at the time. Thanks for sharing.
Pee Wees Playhouse was such a mind blowing thing to watch when it was coming out. My knowledge of Panter is pretty limited to Jimbo but his set design on that show was just incredible. Great video as always, a lot of stuff in there I’ve never seen before.
I should say that many years ago I bought the box sets of the seasons and both of my kids have sat with me and watched...exposing their litttle minds to creativity at its highest and most silly
I watched only some excerpts within a gary panter interview on youtube... my impression was: well, that's fascinating and a bit too fast for my old brain :) (an experience not unlike hearing the hip hop stuff my elder one is listening to all the time)
Bowie was a big reader of RAW in the '80s.
I love Gary's work!
Thanks for another great one. Hope you are doing well in this weird time!
we're good, thank you... yes, it's weird on many levels - hope you're doing well too?!
earl grey I’m doing good thank you!
That’s a good lookin rig! Nice work.
🤩🤩🤩

... because I'm not able to cope with the story?
new to this channel! very cool content!
Just finished watching the documentary "Beauty is Embarrassing" about Wayne White who worked alongside Panter on PeeWees Playhouse. It's on amazon prime if you have that, highly recommended if your a fan of Panter.
I don't have prime but it may pop up somewhere else sooner or later, thanks
PeeWees Playhouse... Brings back the feelz.
I can't remember sth even half as weird on German TV (at least in regard of kids'tv)
Also not sure if you are familiar with Brian Chippendale, his work always seemed to be in the same universe as Gary Panters. Specifically "Puke Force"
absolutely ... even though I remember that one to be a tough one to get through, but it's a good "challenge"
@@earlgrey862 i 100% agree, it took me way longer than it should have. Panters stuff can have a similar effect sometimes
ahhh, nothing like a good old Gary to keep the mind away. Underrated artist, if there is one. May I suggest a Dutch guy for future analysis called Typex - are you aware of his work? Keep safe...
I guess I've looked (maybe too) briefly through one of his books, I think it was one comic about Warhol - can't remember what kept me away eventually
@@earlgrey862 The same book. Incredible (and long..) work. One of best i´ve read, last year. If you can try to get it at a discount. Recommended...
I'm wondering, did you try your binding hack on the slipcase hardcovers? They look very tight. I feel the same as you with those tight bindings, where you can't see the pictures properly because they're disappearing into the gutter. I make the same noises, as well....
my "binding hack" worked with the one with the sketchbook repros (it's still a pretty tight binding though)... but for whatever reason not with the other one
@@earlgrey862 Thanks, that's helpful. One is better than none :)
cool
Thanks for this video. Where did you find Cola Madness for a reasonable price?

... in case you live in the US (the postage to Europe would be too expensive)
I got it from Amazon... but the "cheapest" offer is almost 30€ which is at least 10€ too much
Copacetic comics has copies very cheap. You're welcome
Re: your musings about whether the Dal Tokyo pages are abstract or concrete - he has said in talks that even where he draws concrete things, to him it's abstraction, marks and colours. As at 31mins in this talk: ruclips.net/video/cw65gT_dh6w/видео.html
of course he's right: every drawing is an abstraction... even the most photorealistic one from Alex Ross - but if you want to discuss art you can't avoid to apply terms like abstract, non-objektive, non-representational etc... even though they're dubious tools to use.
@@earlgrey862 Sure. I wasn't criticising :)
all good... I didn't understand it that way either - it's just some difficult topic... thanks for the link btw
I owned the 7 Jimbo comics but dumped them in a period of my life I’d rather forget. Really regret it because they were very enjoyable and funny.
And Crumb didn’t adapt Genesis out of pretentiousness but because he was offered a lot of money. (which turned out to be little money because it took him 3,5 years longer than he projected).
I just love to mock Crumb a bit... and maybe his bible project is not so bad. I never have picked it up - I've heard not so good things about the story, convoluted and esoteric or sth. :)
earl grey Well...it’s the bible. It’s a horrible read, and probably a nightmare to spend 4 years drawing. But it had to be done because religions tend to smooth out (or outright censor) graphic depictions of what’s written, so that the religion doesn’t look too bad. And for that I admire this work. But Christ, am I never gonna finish reading it.
I forgot to say I loved this video. You really expressed very accurately how I (and many others probably) read Gary Panter’s work.
Keep ‘em coming!
