I thought he was long dead...
Way to go Mr. Crumb!!
Crumb is indeed a legend. Used to howl read the Freak Brothers.
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).

His work was disgusting.
LOL, dream on, dooby-toker.
Well done, Mr. Crumb! I didn’t know he was still around.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. I had to look up who Taylor Swift is.
R. Crumb is not only worried about poor little Muslims, he’s also jealous of Mad Magazine - the artists of that legendary rag (especially from the 1960s) put his schlock to shame. Mad Magazine insults everyone - who can forget their dig at Obama and Barf Bergdahl in early 2014?
Great interview! Crumb is still wise, funny and crazy. Good to know. God protect you, R. Crumb!
I wish we could find the cartoon of Fat Fredie’s Kat when Freddie took him to the ocean and told him that’s where Fish comes from. FFK’s looked right back up at Freddie and said, no...(I’m no fool, I know where Fish comes from)...Fish comes from little round tins!
So true....
So true....
Bob Crumb lives!
Still a nut!
(Rats, now i’m seeing trails...)
Another cartoonist (contemporary but also part of the 70s underground comix) weighs in:
US press ‘hypocrites’ for not publishing Charlie Hebdo cartoons: Spiegelman AFP

Beijing (AFP) - The American creator of “Maus”, a graphic novel about the Holocaust, has denounced the “hypocrisy” of US media for refusing to republish the cartoons of Charlie Hebdo magazine, targeted in an Islamist attack last week.
Art Spiegelman said he “admires” Charlie Hebdo and thought the satirical magazine fulfilled its “mission” in 2006 by publishing a controversial caricature of Mohammed.
“I think it’s so hypocritical to drape yourself in freedom of speech and then self-censor yourself to the point where you are not making your readers understand the issues,” Spiegelman told AFP during a visit to Beijing.
“That cartoon was not making fun of the prophet, it was excoriating the believers who would kill.”
While many media outlets republished several front-page cartoons in the wake of an attack that left 12 dead, among them some of Charlie Hebdo’s top cartoonists, some of the largest US newspapers, including the New York Times, refused for fear of offending readers...
I own a bunch of his books, from the book of Genesis to his portraits of old blues men. He's fascinating.
Any of you Crumb fans notice more than a passing similarity between Angelfood McSpade and a certain first lady?
Type at google: Robert Crumb
Then images. That guy is sick, very sick. The writer not any better.
Thank you for posting this... a phenomenally talented social commentator... hard to imagine nobody else thought to interview him.
