...Robert Crumb will undoubtedly go down in history as comicdom's most complex artist. Publicly shy, he nevertheless makes himself the focus of much of his work; highly critical of consumer culture he nevertheless has tons of "merch" and a website to push it; most importantly he uses the "harmless" medium of comic books to explore the outer reaches of adult assumptions about race, sex and the American condition. New Yorkers recently had a rare opportunity to see Crumb face his contradictions and his legacy when he appeared at the New York Public Library in a conversation with Robert Hughes...
Icons of 1960s counterculture often fizzled or self-destructed even before their 15 minutes were up. But not underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. Like his most famous creation, Fritz the Cat, Crumb seems to be running through multiple lives, as a wickedly dark commentator on America with an apparently inexhaustible supply of ideas - all of which are on display at the exhibition "Robert Crumb: A Chronicle of Modern Times" at London's Whitechapel Art Gallery. Crumb's brilliant, savage but also truly comic strips earned him immediate cult status when they were first published in the U.S. in the late...
...note that Jefferson did not act unilaterally until he was satisfied that European powers would not join his coalition and that he did not seek to impose a regime change or an occupation of the Barbary States.

Indeed, Oliveros, 38, has published nearly all of today's top talent, including Chris Ware, Joe Sacco and underground legend Robert Crumb. By showcasing national artists, he has almost single-handedly turned Canada into a major source of cartooning talent...
...novices and comixcenti alike. Several of the works have appeared elsewhere, such as the excerpt of Chester Brown's "Louis Riel," the 2003 biography of a 19th century rabble rouser, or the snippet of Charles Burns' inky teenage horror comedy "Black Hole." Other superstars have brand new work. Robert Crumb, the underground pooh-bah, provides one of his patented war-of-the-sexes pieces, "The Unbearable Tediousness of Being," where a dull nebbish attempts to woo a distracted, hard-nippled Amazon-like woman. Further on appears the wordless examination of man's attempts at ordering nature, "ctrl," by Richard McGuire...
