Golly! The way the believers are behaving you’d think their book was the Koran or something.

i read this last week. it’s completely faithful to the Biblical text – isn’t a parody in any way. nevertheless, i enjoyed it. Crumb’s illustrations really make the stories flow in a way that the text could never do. even the “begats” are tolerable, because you get to look at dozens of clever little portraits of ancient proto-Jews.

I remember back when the movie ‘Ghandi’ was being filmed. There were many Indians at the time protesting that he should not be portrayed by an actor, but by a point of light. But we know what Ghandi ate; we know what he wore; we know what disciples he diddled. We know the same sort of things about Adam. Why not simply present the ‘facts’. I recall once arriving very early at a Gustav Leonhardt harpsichord recital, and my date and I were conversing when he came out to tune the instrument. A lady a row behind us took offense and shushed us loudly, saying, ‘That is the Artist!’ Some people just like to put things on pedestals. I do, too, which is why I always am misplacing my coffee mug.

Somebody really needs to introduce these tight-asses to a collection of early Medieval psalters… (Although I guess they’d just write them off as Papist.)

It was clear, a long, long time ago, that Crumb had already gone to hell — and demonstrated through his rockin’ comics that it was a place that inspired genius (naturally…)8^)

Received my copy today (I’m in Africa)and read it through. A stroke of genius to use Alter’s text in large parts. It is entirely accurate (well, the snake bit reminded me a bit of that oddballIcke). The text explicitly states when some of the Biblical ancestors had intercourse, so what’s wrong with picturing something the text will have you imagine anyway? Of course the fundamental question is why fundamentalism is bothered by a fundamental and accurate portrayal of the text. If the text is accurate in every detail of its its telling, why is an accurate picture of an accurate text upsetting? What it does, of course, and kudos to Crumb, is face fundamentalists with what the text actually looks like, and they find that untenable. Long may Crumb work to complete the Pentateuch.
