The Neighborhood Vs. Wynonie Harris
Here are a couple of news items via the Jet magazine archives (02/24/1955 and 11/03/1955, respectively) detailing wildman Wynonie Harris's clashes with touchy neighbors in Brooklyn and Long Island.
I'd give just about anything to see a photo of the flashing sign on his Long Island lawn reading "The World's Greatest Blues Singer Lives Here." As the great Dizzy Dean once said, "it ain't bragging if you can do it."

Happy Record Store Day!
Harvey Pekar (and not R. Crumb as I originally said), via Kicks magazine. Thanks to The In Crowd for setting me straight in the comments.
UPDATE: Third and final try...what we see here is R. Crumb's artwork, accompanying a story by Harvey Pekar. Thanks to Matt Fiveash for illuminating me.
