    facinating person...let me put it this way, i saw nudity in comic book form through robert crumb before i opened up a playboy. and i got the crumb book from my local library of all places. it featured fritz the cat and others in some stuff i shouldn't have been reading back then. i wanted to grow up and be a cartoonist then and there!

    the documentary on him is uncomfortably entertaining

    highly reccomend the yazoo comps from the 70's he illustrated the covers. recently picked up harmonica blues on the cheap. cheap suit serenaders are also pretty entertaining.

    Got to flip through one of his sketchbooks once, absolutely mindblowing, his original drawings are amazing.

    Fritz the Cat left such an impression on me that I named my Siamese after him - he looked just like him and loved hanging out with me when I smoked weed. He was good with the ladies too! R.I.P Fritz

    an all time great american artist. id rank him and his artwork as amongst the top 10 of the 20th century - easily holds up to all the major visual artists of 1900-2000 in terms of: talent, relevance, real-ness, etc. A deeply damaged person but hes managed to hold it together and not go over (or stay over) the deep end, so he wins with the house in the south of france and the wild wife.
