Story from Home Grown Funnies (1971). In the late 1970s, a neighbor of Crumbs, Boyd Jacobson. Was interested in turning the "Bigfoot" story into a feature film. Jacobson, a TV commercial director. And fan of Crumbs work, started to draft a screenplay and solicited Crumb to provide illustrations. These together they would use as a "pitch-book" to find a studio producer. Provided about 17 black and white illustrations for the project, and over the course of a decade. Later Crumb worked with Terry Zwigoff on a second, expanded. Screenplay, but in the late 80's the project was finally shelved.
