Robert Crumb | The Birth of Underground Comics

[@stephenmissal8260]

Great memories from that time....I am a 76 year old artist...Crumb was one of the big influences in me...

[@A_Pa-Plainjane]

R.Crumb-his work is the most concise guide to the 60's geo-psychic landscape. He constantly poked fun at all of our foibles.

[@pepilchicho]

I remember being no more than 16 years old when I could see the movie of the cat fritz. I blew my mind! I had no idea about drugs and even less about sentimental relationships, but from that moment on I began to draw, inspired by Crumb's work. A great artist indeed.

[@beanrunnerWA]

Excellent work.

[@asienlatierra]

One of the 10 greatest living artists.

My dad, currently 70, is a lifelong fan or Robert Crumb. He has a framed record of Janis Joplin's album 'Cheap Thrills' hung up in his computer room. There's a Smoker's Paradise here in town that sells posters of some of his work. They have the comic of a man who's eyes melt as he smiles. It's such a wacky piece!

[@ArtShutter]

What an interesting story with interesting people

[@TheOldHippiebilly]

I'm 65 and had that Cheap Thrills record growing up-- it was one of my favorites. That was an example of some of the best album art ever. ❤

great video about a great artist!

[@leannaerickson9745]

I find R. Crumb's work, especially his early work, is often revolting. I just can't get enough of it. As I go through my collection of his books, I am amazed time and time again that he expresses some of the weirdest fantasies with such cogent detail. Many of Crumb's later books confirm his mastery of illustration. Really beautiful.

[@DippedInInk]

Crumb is a legend.

[@rickg8015]

Awesome !

This channel is amazing! so glad to have found it! Even if he is not a classical artist (yet ;) ) Sebastien Grenier could be an interesting subject.

[@anthonycrumb5753]

You are wrong there ".... Robert Crumb is among the greatest comics artists of our times .." ? Robert Crumb is among the great graphic artists of ALL times, he is a virtuso, in a class of his owm

[@TheFolkUtopia]

When I think of Crumb, I almost always link them to Bill Plympton, or the strange work from MTV's Liquid Television. I had seen samples of their work in that back corner section of comic shops but didn't really understand their purpose and place until much older. Liquid TV being the big one outside of Heavy Metal.

[@goatflieg]

I still have my stash of Zaps, Mr. Natural, Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and a few others.

[@DavidLS1]

Same here. I had high hopes (pun intended) when the Freak Brothers animated TV show was introduced a couple of years ago. It doesn't hold a candle to the original, but it's not terrible.

[@samankucher5117]

awesome video :)

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it

[@pegcity4eva]

Wonderful video

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like the video

[@DavidLS1]

A different kind of artist, but, in my opinion, right up there with Stan Lee. Fun fact: 'Fritz the Cat' was the world's first X-rated animated film.

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much for your comment

[@steampunkster2023]

I bet, his material or if anyone is gonna make a pastiche of his work, it will be rejected by online publishers since these publishers today are afraid to push the envelope in storytelling.

[@matiassandoval2643]

Nada como que tus padres se sorprendieran al darse cuenta de que esa película con un gatito que aparece en la tele se trataba sobre un gato cachondo y vicioso

[@LittleCozyNostril]

Cool animations. Fans of R. Crumb might enjoy my series CANONICALLY CRUMB where I explore the comix and characters of the Crummy-verse.

[@ArtShutter]

Thanks for commenting, I'll take a look at your videos, they sound interesting

[@michaeltracy7988]

I'm sure that was interesting but I couldn't understand a word of it.

[@marklozano8388]

WTF?
