The Complete Crumb Comics #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis sixth volume of Fantagraphics' comprehensive series collects Robert Crumb's work from 1968 to 1971, a period of transition and peak output. It includes the debut of characters like Mr. Natural, Flakey Foont, and Shuman the Human, alongside the Snoid and Eggs Ackley, capturing Crumb's satirical and often surreal take on the counterculture. The collection gathers material from underground comix, Zap Comix, and other outlets, showcasing his evolving style and social commentary.
"Smelly Old Cat" is a raw, intimate glimpse into Robert Crumb’s personal world, blending candid photography with his signature offbeat humor. Featuring a mix of photos of Crumb, his then-girlfriend Kathy, and their son Jesse, along with a brief autobiographical introduction, the story captures a quietly revealing moment in the artist’s life. The interior art by Al Davoren and Lela, with Crumb’s own lettering, complements the personal tone, while the cover by Crumb himself sets the wry, unvarnished mood.
