MUMBO JUMBO
MUMBO JUMBO
In the centuries before time, before limestone and tombstone, before the Stone Age
and Stonehenge, there was the Age of Mumbo Jumbo.
It was in this age, also known by archofrogolists as MumJum, that the first sketch of the
Crumpolos Logostus was said to have been finger-painted onto a papyrus paprika shaker.
But no archofrogolist or hipstorian could ever lay their dust mote eyes on it. Until today.
Now, for the first time, the origins of the famous Crumpolos Logustus have been found.
And not just one sketchy skitch from centuries past,
but a whole gallbladder gallery load of the little snitchy beast.
They were found in decaying choc chip buns hanging in the branches of
a fossilised olive tree. One archofrogolist’s discovery, now known worldwide as the
Dead Tree Scrolls, brings Crumpolos Logustus’s lifestory in picco-graphicos to you today.
So slap on your Aunty Fruittata’s dressing gown and clown suit,
and get on down to the Crumpler gallery for a leechload of logo lovin’.

(Opposite) RELISH - red/orange
With great jar loads of relish,
we frame you the ancient Relish from
Aunty Jitty Bah’s backend cupboard.
SQUID
Slipslob covered in early incarnations
of the Crumpolos Logustus, the Squid
is a legover wunderkelp for the ages.
MINOR UPSET - black
Extribit U: The upside of any upstanding
understanding of our artistic undulation is
that, Hey, it was just a Minor Upset.
THE HAPPY CHUNK
The second of two true pieces of
polygraphy that marry the rule that
proves Uncle Antcester’s tools weren’t
hammerin’ in tune, the Happy Chunk
is an extra-cordinary artifact. You might
say heebeeshee is owl-like. Hoot the hell
you think you are, hoot think like that,
who? Gnu-one! The Happy Chunk is
an incontrovertible convertible piece of
evidence, driving home the sharp hairpin
bends on the road to the truth
of Mumbo Jumboism.
(Opposite) RELISH - black
Presenting the black Relish:
discovered circa 500 B.Fleas, a sticky
savoury jam from Unkle Rawsheath’s
underside drawers.
(Above) ALL AND SUNDRY
Anutter Extribit: the prehistoric
All and Sundry took
everymannerwoman’s cling-wrapped
cucumber fantasy and flattened it.
(Opposite) EARLY OPENER
Back in the dark deep darkness of daftness,
this ancient artifact, the Early Opener, whet
the two peas between your whistle holder.
THE INSIDE SCOOP
Found in the warm wet mounds of
wetlands in deepest dampest and fairly
moist Pervoo, the Inside Scoop is one
of only two verified proof puddings of
the Age of Mumbo Jumboism. Note the
lack of any discernible intelligence in its
design. Note, also, the lack of anything
discernible. There is no doubt this is an
iconic, rare, never to be repeated, pop
your Aunty Geebung Strung up on a
mechanical rodeo horse find for Mumbo
Jumboism. Yee ha!
MINOR UPSET - red/orange
“Minor key in a major world of discovery,
the map to the Minor Upset was made of
many moons of misunderstanding”
– Crumpolos Logustus III
(Opposite) CRUMPLER LOGO CRAYON
Dating back to the deep dates hanging on date trees with dated fizzy fruit that
sent your mouth into sickstream when you sucked them, comes this artefactual
fictum. It shows that, even before time began, masters of the art of Crayona
Crumpolos were not only jiving but thriving.
Note the texture, the colour and that sense that, Hey, my cousin Coofcha’s
half-brained toddler with pig’s ears could have twobbed this up,
that only the finest art possesses. Oh yesses.
