It spans the years 1982 to 1989, a period when the artist was comfortably ensconced in rural California, raising his young daughter Sophie, who appears throughout this volume. But Crumb was still Crumb, declaring in one drawing, above a lovingly rendered tree, \"As I get older I get more twisted, convoluted, depraved, cynical, embittered, self-centered, jaded, debauched, ruthless, greedy, conceited, set-in-my-ways, long-winded, absent-minded, prejudiced, closedminded, misanthropic, nervous.\"To prove this self-flagellating analysis he fills the pages with his signature perversions (in country settings), scathing social commentary, cruel self-portraits, experimental cubism. and some lovely sylvan landscape. His mastery of the Rapidograph pen is at its zenith here in his 40s; we only wish he'd chosen to include his prescient comic of Donald Trump from 1989.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Crumb","offers":[{"title":"440 pages \/ 29\/08\/2026 \/ Contains explicit material","offer_id":57416761508215,"sku":"9783754405727","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9783754405727.jpg?v=1787936415","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9783754405727","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
