For more than 40 years, comic book artist R. Crumb has produced an abundance of zany and irreverent characters, including the iconic Fritz the Cat.

The exhibition features all 208 individual black-and-white drawings incorporating every word from all 50 chapters of Genesis. Illustrated in his signature bawdy style, Crumb's version puts an entirely new twist on The Bible. Labels and text panels will guide visitors to their favorite stories - from The Garden of Eden to Noah's Ark - and will explore drawing techniques and comic book production. Now through September 19th at the Portland Art Museum.
