Robert Crumb

Raunchy, bitter and often disturbingly strange underground comic books stories that often had a strong, sometimes violent, objectification of women.

Is the most famous and successful underground cartoonist in history and was the first to become mainstream.
Credits his older brother Charles Crumb for introducing him to art as a means of venting his emotional distress. Charles would actually bully Robert into drawing and creating.
His daughter, Sophie Crumb, is an accomplished cartoonist in her own right. 2004 saw the publication of her own comic book, "Belly Button Comix".
Animation legend Matt Groening (The Simpsons (1989) and "Life Is Hell") was a fan in his youth and still is, though he keeps Crumb's books hidden from his own children.
Brother Charles Crumb committed suicide a year after the filming of Crumb (1994).

You must thank the gods for art, those of us who have been fortunate enough to stumble onto this means of venting our craziness, our meanness, our towering disgust.
People now don't have any concept that there was ever a culture outside of this thing that was created to make money. Whatever is the biggest, latest thing, they're into it. You get disgusted after a while at humanity.
[Putting to rest rumors that he hung out with Grateful Dead in the 1960s]: "I never had anything to do with those guys. I hated their music. I went to some of their concerts and fell asleep".
(On Adults only Animation pioneer Ralph Bakshi): "He wanted to be the new hip Walt Disney. He was so neurotic and high-strung. He had beads of sweat all down his head".
(On the hit movie Fritz the Cat (1972) which was based on his comics): "They put words in Fritz's mouth I never would've had him say. It was not my movie. I had nothing to do with it. They just used a couple of my stories. But a lot of people seem to think I was involved - that bothers me".
