Why do we not discuss Maurice Vellekoop's Memoir here?

Bump. I know it's a busy news day.

This looks amazing! thanks for sharing. I know this artists works but didn't know he had a graphic memoir.

I heard a rumor that he is a closeted Canadian - is this true?

I was lead to believe that he was American, because he’s worked for The New Yorker, etc.

That cover picture tells me everything I need to know.

That cover boy could be me!

Why is he not more of a gay icon? His drawings are so sexy, I love his ABC Book and Pin-Ups Book.

OMG, I just checked out the NSFW page and realized I have the Gloria Badcock book by him. The pinups are cute but not really "sexy" like some erotic cartoon artists (Joe Phillips, JC Etheredge) . I really wanna read this new book tho!

Books thread. It's been going for years. Shill books there.

His “ABC Book” and “Artists and Models” are very sexy. The pinup book is in part parody but some are hot! Joe Philipps is a Barbie artist in comparison.

Why? Because WHO THE FUCK IS HE?

OP, I *just* read this yesterday. Didn't see this thread here, it just popped up as a recommendation from my library.

I was sobbing by the end. What a beautiful book. A story many of us can identify with......

Ah yes! The ABC book! I remember that now.

I had the ABC book years ago and it was stolen by a roommate (along with my VCR).

Now the damn thing is apparently out of print and copies can fetch a few THOUSAND dollars!

That’s my point, R10! This is supposed to be a GLBT board where we celebrate GAY artists and not talk about fucking Trump and his minions all the time.

Who's had him?

According to his memoir relatively few.

Looks creepy.

He’s a fantastic artist.

The sketch of the boy on the cover is exactly how I picture the troll that writes up the posts that say

"She IS (celebrity name)!"

Based on this article, it took him the better part of a decade to write and publish the graphic memoir.

I just got it out of the library.
