Comic-Strip Artist R. Crumb Mocks Book of Genesis

according to this he's not mocking the stories, just God.

He needs prayer. And someone to share the gospel with him - Something tells me God's "Grace" and "Mercy" was left out of his education

LOS ANGELES — His religious upbringing might well be as unorthodox as the psychedelic-inspired comic-strip characters that have made R. Crumb the most famous underground artist of his time.

Which, come to think of it, may have made Crumb the perfect artist for his latest project, an illustrated, comic-book version of "The Book of Genesis," the work that comprises the first 50 chapters of the Bible.

"I don't think 'Genesis' is a good place to look for spiritual guidance or moral guidance," he continues. "I don't believe it's the word of God.

Then why the obsession?

on Oct. 24 the stunningly detailed, beautifully crafted black-and-white drawings that comprise its 201 pages will go on display at Los Angeles' Hammer Museum. After the exhibition closes in February it will move on to other cities, including New York and Portland, Ore.

The cover has an angry god forcing Adam and Eve out of the garden. This is an absolutely horrible interpretation...and they are displaying it in museums?
