Robert Crumb

Wikipedia Info:Robert Dennis Crumb (born August 30, 1943)—known as Robert Crumb and R. Crumb—is an American artist, illustrator, and musician recognized for the distinctive style of his drawings and his critical, satirical, subversive view of the American mainstream.Crumb was a founder of the underground comix movement and is regarded as its most prominent figure. Though one of the most celebrated of comic book artists, Crumb's entire career has unfolded outside the mainstream comic book publishing industry. One of his most recognized works is the "Keep on Truckin'" comic, which became a widely distributed fixture of pop culture in the 1970s. Others are the characters Devil Girl, Fritz the Cat, and Mr. Natural.
He was inducted into the comic book industry's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1991.

His work is amazing, the weird cartoons, opening your mined to these dominating women he love, to show the power women have over him and the world. showing the humor in funny sex antics. To only live in his mined for a day world be epic. The level of crazy could be compared to Andy Warhol, But all artist are crazy and have great ideas to show the wold. I believe crumb is really trying to show use another way to think about the roles we play in life. he lives his wold within his drawings. My favorite of his is Fritz the cat what is a funny cartoon that is rated X back in the day. Click Here to watch Fritz the cat
