*Ø* Blogmanac August 30, 1943 | Happy 60th birthday, R

My work is full of sweating, nervous uneasiness, which is a big part of me and everybody else. Most people don't want to see that though, because it reminds them of inadequate parts of themselves.
Robert Crumb

R Crumb, amazingly prolific US ‘underground’ cartoonist, creator of "Keep on trucking" as well as such memorable characters as Mr Natural, the Snoids, Whiteman, Angelfood McSpade, Bo Bo Bolinski, Flakey Foont and, of course, himself as he appears in countless comix.

Crumb, or 'R', as he is known to his many fans worldwide, has also produced volumes of non-comix artwork, including an illustrated version of James Boswell's 18th-century London Journal (a personal favourite of your almanackist whether illustrated by R or not).
