It is based on a suggestion from sbotzakis

I love the different perspective and that you added a Furry Freak Brother and Mr. Natural.
Beautiful!

I know it’s not on the original cover, but there should be some power lines in the background. Crumb loves power lines.

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers are by Gilbert Shelton, not Robert Cumb.

That is very frue, but I took the Fat Freddy cameo to be in the same spirit as seeing Allen Ginsberg in the background of Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” film.

Fair enough. Your Devil-Girl is awesome.

Oh, I didn’t have anything to do with it, but I agree.

@Ian: Yeah, Fat Freddy doesn’t completely belong there except… I do think of him as part of the same underground comic culture of that era and I just saw that VW camper van on the original album cover and thought of the FFFB classic “Mexican Odyssey”. He had to go there.
Thanks for the kind words on Devil-Girl!
@Mary: Power lines! I wish I had thought of it.
