The Book Of Genesis Illustrated By R. Crumb (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
God may be disappointed, but I wasn't God is Disappointed in You by Mark Russell is anything but disappointing. That goofy guy who used to sit behind a star-spangled baby grand and sing about ridiculous politicians has now taken on the Bible. This retelling is accurate, but irreverent. Ironies, inconsistencies, and Pharisees abound. And it turns out, straight from Mary’s mouth, that Jesus’ middle name DOES start with an H. Who knew? God is Disappointed in You would be a good to use with a teenager who was reluctant to brush up on his Bible stories, as a supplement to a Bible as Literature class, or for not-so-religious adults to read and have a good laugh. Anyone who enjoyed R. Crumb’s The Book of Genesis, would like this as well. R. Crumb does an amazing job with this. The art is beautiful and the undertaking is remarkable. To clear up any confusion, this is NOT "illustrated stories from Genesis," this is the entire book of Genesis in comic form (every verse and every chapter).Now - let's talk about Genesis. What a weird and messed up piece of antiquity! The bizarre nature of it never ceases to amaze me. Filled with El Shaddai raining down terror, incest, philandering, sorcery, deceit etc. Interesting stuff.

masterpiece, bit too much sex and violence for my taste though

Great artwork, but I feel like it was a wasted effort.
