B. Kliban’s vast body of playful, surreal irreverent free-form work is well overdue for re-discovery. An innovator who significantly expanded the realm of cartooning, Kliban inspired a generation with his no-limits approach. His numerous books – Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, Whack Your Porcupine, Two Guys Fooling Around With the Moon among them – spread the Kliban vision far and wide, and put the term “Klibanesque” in the dictionary. His constructions – whether single-panel drawings (“Mental floss.”), multi-panel sequences (“Four Useless Motions”) or eight-panel image-poems (“Sheer Pottery”) – push fearlessly forward into unexplored territory. Welcome to his unique and compelling world.

Are the drilling for cheese?
Maybe they are mashing out the casu marzu…

OK…. I know it’s a cartoon….
but I have to figure things out.
They’re turning a rope on a capstan…. it runs through he platform and emerges to lift a big stone wheel….
which might have been pressing the cheese…..

The rope runs through a block, then loops up over a wooden arm….
BUT…. why is the arm not secured to the pole….
it seems to be counter-weighted with a big rock, tied onto the other side…..
And why is there an outlet for liquid running under the platform….
are they also pressing cheese there?
Yeah yeah…. overthinking.
But if Kliban put all this stuff into his work….
he must want somebody to get something out of it….
I volunteer!

Българското сирене е по-добре, отколкото, че руският глупости!

It is Bulgarian. Google translated it as “Bulgarian cheese is better than that crap Russian”.
