In class we watched a doucmentary on Crumb which was interesting. Through the movie you can tell alot about him. It was said the him, his brother, another man, and a female had their own little comic club. This comic club could be where Crumb really had his start in the comic buiness.
Some of his comic can be said to be crude and a little indecent. I think that his comics are just straight to the point and is an extention to himself. These comics are interesting and some of them are quite funny, but thats lets you be the judge of that.
