There are some online comments that Mohamid Bakshi is known in America as Ralph Bakshi (director of Fritz the Cat, based on Crumb’s comix by the same name).

Nah, traded a bunch of his art for a house in some French village and has been there ever since.

The Freak Brothers were by Gilbert Shelton, who’s American born and been living in France even longer.

Charlie Hebdo shooting: Brisbane author Susan Johnson attends vigil in ‘calm and defiant’ Paris

Johnson said she had been friends with Shelton for more than 20 years, and said he was very shaken by the event.

“Both Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton made their way to France many years ago, as cartoonists are really loved here,” she said.

“In France satire and cartoonists are really highly regarded - they are really loved.

“Gilbert knows one of the cartoonists [killed in the attack] and he is very upset.

Robert Crumb is considered by many to be the single best cartoonist America has ever produced.

LOL, dream on, dooby-toker.

I highly recommend the documentary film “Crumb.” Sure he is unusual, but he is brilliant, in spite of an amazingly dysfunctional family.

Maybe not the best ever but certainly better than any of the dipwads who've drawn for Marvel, DC, Image, et al since the mid-80s.

AH! Gilbert Shelton’s work. One of my favorites, as well.
