Crumb at his best/worst. This is certainly not a page that will be to everyone's taste. I think to understand it and appreciate it you really have to know Crumb's work and have an familiarity with the irreverence and ambitions of the underground comic scene circa 1970. I already had a nice Crumb page and so in getting a second, I wanted something different and more challenging. This is it, a page that will not go on my wall but should.
