he's like proto r9k, that's exactly right

Of course I know who Crumb is. He worked on the greatest comic series of all time, American Splendor.

I loved the shit out of American Pop as a kid and looking back to when I was a teenager I am glad I was not too shy to buy a copy of Fritz The Cat because that was a good buy.

an antiquated racist sexist

I'm honestly impressed there are more than a couple of anons who know of him

I know of him, but I've only seen Felix the Cat.

He's nothing but a waste of talent.
Ware>>>>>>>>>>Crumb

Did he draw that self portrait?

I didn't realize he was actually talented at drawing realism.

My uncle had all of his comics. I used to sneak down to the basement and read his old Playboy's and his old Zap comics that he tucked away in the basement bathroom.

Just because I read superheroes doesn't mean I don't know underground comix artists. R Crumb is an odd duck to put it light.

He actually does amazing portraits.

The documentary was fantastic albeit depressing

He coined a phrase for a fetish I didn't even know I had.

Anyone who's seen American Splendor?

>LE CAPESHIT XDD
>HAHA I BET YOU DON'T KNOW THIS CREATOR EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER KNOWS ABOUT, I'M SO SPECIAL LOL
OP, please do the genepool a favor. Pour gasoline all over yourself and set yourself on fire.
Oh and hopefully this thread "drops" because people will sage it for being shit
Why? Because you're a retard?

R Crumb is fantastic but nudity is frowned upon on Sup Forums nowadays.

BRAAAAAAP

Can we just take a moment to realize Crumb was the normal one in his family?

Yes, a pity that felix the cat will ruin his reputation

Honestly you're an idiot.

It's a good thing because there are certain pages of the first issue of Hup that would get posted every single day without end for baiting purposes with people pretending that they were written last year.

It's rude to make assumptions, OP.

The modern Mark Twain.

Enjoyed his stuff for years. An awful businessman, though.

He's a motherfucking powerhouse in terms of technique.

I like Crumb's sexual fantasies

Robert Crumb is like the poster child for indie comic authors. You could've gone with someone actually obscure but you probably don't know anyone.

Eh... no. He does very good work with crosshatching, but I wouldn't call him a "powerhouse"

Apparently he got offered 3 million for original Book of Genesis pages and turned it down. He's not hurting for money at all.

I don't anyone who isn't from the West knows him.

lol seriously. Crumb was indie 45 years ago. Now he is more well known than half the creators at marvel/dc

I think he's an incredible artist but I don't really give a shit about any of his comics. But he was a major influence on the greatest living cartoonist, Gilbert Hernandez, so I do appreciate him.

Joke's on you OP.
Sup Forums may be full of casuals, cunts, and capeshit, but there are enough people that love fat asses and big girls to know about Crumb.

America has a "seedy underbelly" fetish which is where people like Crumb and art like Rat Fink get their popularity.

Main style elements: ugliness, demons, hot rods, rats, sharp teeth, injuries, ugly women, hot women, dirtiness...

My parents are old stoners so I've known his name since I was little, even if I've seen only a little of his works.
Crumb's the more talented creator, I'll attest to that all day long, but Gilbert Shelton is more my taste.

Most of his comics are unfortunately either diaries (not inherently bad, not inherently good), ideological vomit, or rather aimless and transparent stories. I have the same problem with Dan Clowes, but in my opinion Crumb blows Clowes out of the water in terms of talent for illustration.

I love Crumb and capes too. I'm also touched by your weird inferiority complex.
Jerk off less.
SAGE

I really like his serious ink drawings.
But I'm an yuropoor, and don't like capeshit that much.

At this point it must be fucking false flagging

You fucks don't get it, every fucking non cape thread is started in this same god damn way and ends the same god damn way. Yeah you get guaranteed replies which most of which are just an argument you've started and set the precedence for hate.

Just start a non cape thread as alternative comics or something and don't bait every thread with a call out.

Crumb is just a creepy pervert that I understand and relate to

He was well known from Fritz the Cat when late night cable stations played it. Funny considering that Crumb hates the production. No millenials probably have seen the animated films or the Crumb documentary so of course they have no clue who Crumb is. Underground comix haven't been relevant for decades.

>How many of you capeshit anons even know who Robert Crumb is?

I know of him.
I'm not a 'big' fan, but I love his illustrated Book of Genesis.
I admire how open he is about his sexual preferences. I'd love to hear his opinion on the digital erotic artist community.

Most people on Sup Forums have lousy taste in comics and mostly read geek culture oriented stuff aimed towards kids and adults with aspbergers so threads about UG/alt/adult oriented comix tend to drop pretty fast. But Robert Crumb is like one of the most famous cartoonists ever. It's just common knowledge to know about Crumb even if you're not into comics at all. There are actually Crumb threads on here every once in a while but sadly much of his stuff can't be storytimed here because of the sex.

Can't we talk about som of his old UG colleagues instead? I think Kim Deitch is hugely underrated and while maybe not the best artist of the underground comics era, he is the best writer no doubt. The guy is a freaking genius with his meta-meta-metaphysical stories and the fictional universe he has created since the 60's. He never wasted time making LSD comics with no narrative like the rest of that gang (which didn't stand the test of time). And he is still making his stories. Looking forward to his next book.

You mean the cover for HUP #1?

This. Kill yourself OP

>Underground comix haven't been relevant for decades.

But without the underground comics, we wouldn't have any adult oriented comics at all. And as it is today, the mainstream geek/kiddie oriented comics industry is dying (finally) while the alternative/adult oriented comcis is in a golden age and growing for every year. It's taken a long time but it all started with the undergrounds. I have underground comics to thank for even being interested in the medium. None of the good comics of today would even exist if it weren't for them.

And Crumb's books still sell very well as new people discover his work. And some of the artists are still active like Kim Deitch, Bill Grifith, Trina Robbins, Joyce Farmer and others, altough not making the trippy hippie type stuff they used to back then of course.

Kim Deitch did a variant cover for Batman not that long ago.

That's not Trump that's Clinton. Very telling though. How did RC know?

he is a gross pervert

>le perverted jew of hipster '70 comics

Fuck off OP.

>without the underground comics, we wouldn't have any adult oriented comics at all

Most of today porn comes from hentai that evolved independently in japan.

>le jew calling Sup Forumstard from 2k18

It's really cute you've discovered him and think you're somehow mommy's special boy now. Good for you pupper.

I do

This is a fascinating read. Really shows how strange and violent the Bible is. His art, especially sorta dirty compliments it perfectly.

That's a type of engraving. Not cross hatching.
Extremely different techniques.

I ordered his Kafka graphic novel, so I'm really excited for that.

Omg OP, you're like, so fucking special for knowing who Crumb is.

No, I meant the rest of Hup #1

Whoops, out of order

Eh....i don't think you know what you are, eh.....talking about.

This thread is like that kid in high school who was like "yeah I listen to pretty obscure indie stuff, have you ever heard of Arcade Fire?"

I think it’s more like the kid who would listen to the Beatles, and judging everyone else for not knowing what “revolver” was.

To be fair though, I bet you've never even heard the song "Taxman." You wouldn't know if if you only listen to the greatest hits.

Lol, here we go

What, are you trying to say you actually know the b-sides? Very well then, fellow real fan! I bet I can stump you though - I just did a 10th grade english essay on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (no fan would ever just call it "Sgt Peppers") ... did you know that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is actually referring to LSD?? Most people think it's just a silly little song.

Please be joking

lol, yes, exactly this

No, it's true! Look at the first letters:
Lucy
Sky
Diamonds

L... S... D!

If that blew your mind, try this one on for size.

If you're a big fan, you MAY have heard the song "I am the Walrus" (it's from Magical Mystery Tour, which is a movie too - my favorite movie of all time) written by John Lennon. Well on the album The Beatles - you probably call it "the White Album" - there's a song called "Glass Onion." John slipped a line in there to troll people and said "Here's another clue for you all, the Walrus was Paul." It's pretty cryptic, but if you pay attention to the lyrics of both songs, you can see that he's talking about how EVERYONE is the Walrus and he's rejecting fame.

Bet you didn't know that ;)

Ah middle school

Ha! You didn't start listening to the Beatles until middle school? I guess that's better than most of the kids in my grade. At the time they were just listening to Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj, while I was listening to the Beatles, Queen, the Rolling Stones, and Elton John. The greatest songwriters of all time.

If you're looking for music recommendations, you should check out Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. It's the most epic song ever recorded, and surprisingly not many people know about it.

I know who he is, but I was never big on his work. I can appreciate it though.

I'm not talking about "adult" as in porn. I'm talking about comics that are actually art and aimed towards adult readers. Alternative comics, literary comics, comix, adult oriented comics, call it what you want.

He's catholic. His wife is jewish though and he got a sexual thing for jewish girls according to his autobio comics.

That isn't supposed to be either Trump or Clinton though. It's one of his characters albeit probably inpsired by Trump.

That story isn't from HUP #1 though.

Ok ok, you are don't a perfect impression.
Just please let us know you're being sarcastic.

I know him because of Harvey Pekar

wait, he's still alive and working?

I did that and got zero replies. Wasn't combative, asked what books people wanted to see in 2018. People here think Saga is indie, lol.

Yes, though he lives pretty much in hiding coming out very rarely for things he cares about. He didn’t really wanna be famous.

You're right it's Hup 3. My bad

I must have been 6 or 7 when my friend showed me her mom's zap comixs. Her mom died of a drug overdose. Her grandpa was kinda into old school comics too I think. He had a big collection of Betty Boop stuff.
I wonder how people got into underground comics in the days before internet.

She had 2 issues that could have been worth something to collectors. But the house, and the neighborhood basically blew away when a tornado hit, so they were probably destroyed.

Sarcastic about what? I just like REAL music. Sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong generation to be honest. Back when girls didn't all dress like sluts and people listened to good music instead of wasting time on their iphones.

Have you ever listened to Abbey Road on a vinyl record player? It's a MASTERPIECE.

Yeah, his Art & Beauty 1-3 collection was released quite recently I think.

gonna have to look that up. really like his rendering style.

Wished I caught your thread. I'm a huge UG/alt comics connoisseur. That's the only comics I read. I despise geek/autism culture so I'm not on here that much because I get depressed everytime I browse the catalog and it's only threads about kids stuff. It's 18+ on Sup Forums, still people on this board has not discovered that there is a whole world out there of adult oriented comics that are actually aimed towards them. They still read capes and sonic the hedgehog.

Well you need to take it down a notch. I used to be just like you.

What happened? Did you fall for the corporate pop music of Ariana Grande or something? She makes me sick, pretending like that's actual "music."

If you want a great female singer, check out a lesser known classic artist named Fleetwood Mac. My dad taught me about them. They have a girl who can really sing.

You are an idiot

I despise picture books, so I'm not on here that much because I get depressed everytime I browse the catalog and it's only threads about picture books. It's 18+ on Sup Forums, still people on this board has not discovered that there is a whole world out there of prose that is actually aimed towards them. They still read picture books.

u r gay as fuck

Are you listening to the Beatles?

>prose

Look at this fag.

Any Sup Forumsmrade knows r crumb. Be it here for capeshit, cartoonshit, or even preschoolshit.

I thought this motherfucker was dead. Sup Forums told me he was dead. God this happens to me so much. I thought James Hong was dead too. Glad I'm wrong but damn I'm stupid.

James Hong is dead

Fritz the Cat is the shittiest animated film I've ever seen. This is including Foodfight!.
