1st Printing, February 1976. Featuring images from R. Crumb's 1971 sketchbook. In 1972, the barely teen-aged Cleveland resident Peter Kuper traded Robert Crumb a collection of 78-rpm jazz records for the right to publish artwork from Crumb's 1971 sketchbook.

Melotoons #2 also includes a reprint of Gary Griffith's interesting Cleveland Magazine interview with Crumb from 1972. 8.5" x 10.5", 24 pages, B&W. Print run unknown. Mature Readers.
