Robert Crumb, born August 30, 1943, is an American cartoonist and a seminal figure of the underground comix movement. Known for his bold, satirical, and often controversial style, Crumb created iconic works such as "Fritz the Cat," "Mr. Natural," and the "Zap!" series, which sharply critique 1960s American culture, sexuality, and politics. His art has profoundly influenced both the comic medium and popular culture, challenging mainstream norms while sparking debates over his portrayals of gender and race. Crumb’s legacy reshapes the aesthetic of American comics and provides a model of creative freedom for subsequent independent artists. more

Then the door buzzer rings and you open the inner door to the waiting room and there stands a new face with a new problem, a new load of grief, and a small piece of money.”

“I had to learn that slower is faster. If you practice every day with patience and correctness, you will get there. It's like preparing for a jump. You can't rush. You must summon the appropriate energy with split-second timing and have an understanding of purpose to get up in the air. It requires training, confidence and mental effort. You can't have a vocabulary without the alphabet. Balanchine used to say, "Do you want to be a poet of gesture or do you want to be a physical entity?"”
