Robert Crumb: Visionary Comicbook Artist Interview Robert Crumb's work from the 60s and 70s entered my consciousness during junior high school and continued on into college. For me, it began with Big Brother and the Holding Company's Cheap Thrills album cover, then progressed to Mr. Natural, Fritz the Cat and the National Lampoon. A recently released  interview is quite entertaining for old and new fans. But, I had never known about his prescient works revealing the Jews and blacks which he discusses briefly in the interview.  He was trying to wake people up  way back.  And illustrated as only he can.
