Underground Comics

Underground comics in my opinion are some of the most interesting because of the content and lack of filter amongst the stories. I looked into a lot of Robert Crumb’s work and have seen a documentary about him and his work. I loved how meticulous he was with all of his drawings. You can tell that every piece was made with patience and handled with care. Crumb was a peculiar individual that many other people would consider totally bizarre but I find him quite humorous. It’s interesting when you see an artists work envelope deeper feelings or moral values. Crumb would illustrate a lot of his fetishes and I thought some of the moments were absolutely hilarious. It’s very easy for the average person to place judgment upon Crumb’s work but once you look deeper into it and understand the man he is, it is truly a beautiful experience to admire. If you think about being in his shoes, Crumb definitely had to experience a clash from the public but he stayed true to himself and his work.
