“Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television”

In "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television," R. Crumb delivers a sharp, surreal satire as the U.S. President, pushed to his limits, contemplates an extreme measure to restore order. With Crumb’s signature raw line work and biting wit on full display, the story unfolds in a world where media saturation has reached a breaking point—though just how the President plans to act remains a mystery. The cover, a collaborative effort by R. Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb, captures the era’s anxieties in bold, uneasy strokes.
