Cartoonist who created the classic underground “comix” Zap (1967) and Snatch (1968), featuring the overtly sexual escapades of Mr. Natural, the grotesquely voluptuous Angelfood McSpade, and many others. He was the creator of the cartoon symbol of an era, the strutting hippie over the slogan “Keep on Truckin’,” which he failed to copyright. His comic series, Fritz The Cat, was adapted to an X-rated animated feature in 1972. ALS signed “R.Crumb,” one page, 3 x 5, February 6, 1982. A response to an aspiring cartoonist, in blue ballpoint, all capital letters, on a white notecard. In full: “Thanks for letting me look at your comic strips for possible inclusion in “Weirdo”…The strips are pretty good, but I think you are still developing as a cartoonist and haven’t reached the stage of doing your best work…Your heart is in the right place and you like the ‘right’ stuff, so keep working at it is all I can say.” In fine condition.
