Blast from the past, my old Sociocultural Anthropology professor failing someone for writing on a test that Levi Strauss is most known for inventing blue jeans. That’s the other Levi Strauss, not the man who gave us structural anthropology.
Mr Strauss started out as a tentmaker. He went to California during the Gold Rush, thinking he could make tents for the miners. One asked for a pair of pants. Pretty soon everyone wanted a pair of pants from Levi Strauss.
has sparse (Biography) info about this artist, perhaps in addition to what’s indirectly pointed to by the first URL. Perhaps those who read Italian can find more (I couldn’t, that Chrome could automatically translate, even with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions/). This is the first work by him used here.
Again, a larger strip image is shown by clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #1952 (May 14, 2018) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment.
