Robert Crumb

Robert Crumb (also known as R. Crumb), an American cartoonist, was a seminal figure of the underground comix movement in the 1960s. His cartoons, which did not shy away from sexual and scatological content, were considered transgressive and featured characters, such as Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural, that became counterculture icons. He cofounded Zap Comix in 1968 and founded his own cartooning magazine, Weirdo, in 1981. Crumb’s wife, Aline Kominsky, with whom he collaborated on several projects, and his daughter, Sophie Crumb, are also cartoonists.
