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.
