Mats the Asiaddict

Mats!?. 2006. Asiaaddict. Sparkplug Comic Books. Signed "BON VOYAGE MICHAEL 05/07/09 MATS!?" on title page. ISBN: 0974271535. © Mats!?

Mats!? does not really have anything to do with R. Crumb except that they are both cartoonists. I stumbled upon his art and immediately liked it. This book, a cartoon chronicle of his travels to Asia, is insightful, humorous and a bit bizarre. Highly recommended. Part of the pleasure of researching Crumb is finding out about other artists. It's a fun diversion! [Note: I used to have a golden retriever named Mats].
