Kliban cartoons (caution: nudity, philosophy, blasphemy)

Post by Magritte » Sat Jan 26, 2013 5:00 pm

Kliban is my favorite cartoonist. Most of his work is either baffling or hilariously weird. Sometimes it's very sad.

Someone uploaded a bunch of his scanned cartoons on Flickr.

Enjoy, if you like this sort of thing ;)

The “One” is the space of the “world” of the tick, but also the “pinch” of the lobster, or that rendezvous in person to confirm online pictures (with a new lover or an old God). This is the machinery operative...as “onto-theology."

At first, I was confused. Why in the world did Ayn Rand give her oranges to those children?? Then I saw Cthulhu rising and Aquaman turning villain, and realized that Hell must simply have frozen over.

Kliban is a strange sort of mind, to draw those things. Is he connected to the Dead Philosophers comic as well?
