Quote by Robert Crumb

“Basically, I'm a very spiritual person. I'm very tempted to renounce almost everything. Perhaps it's because of my Catholic upbringing. I have this tendency to want to renounce things that have any bad effects at all, because their good effects are always offset by their bad effects.”

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

Nothing made him feel better than tossing off a check that elicited a breathy gasp of pleasure from one of the wives.”
