Waiting for Food: More Restaurant Placemat Drawings, 1994-2000

Everyone knows the temptation of doodling on a restaurant tablecloth — but no one performs this deed as masterfully as R. Crumb. In this second collection of often irreverent and always mesmerizing placemat drawings, Crumb depicts fellow diners, Americana, French culture, and flights of fancy, offering a glimpse into the mind of an inspired artist and savvy social critic. 120 black-and-white illustrations are featured.
