Robert Crumb: Mr. Natural

        So... not a fan of this one. I new that from the beginning, especially being an underground comic, that this particular comic would be geared toward a more "mature" adult audience. But honestly, I did not expect it to be on the fine line of pornographic. To say the least, I would not ever read Crumbs comics again. I think that Mr. Natural is interesting, in that, people find him to be wise even though he is mischievous and I think the stories about him meditating are clever. But, having a baby face on a naked adult female is not my idea of entertaining. It is disturbing and even more so when Mr.Natural feeds the "big baby" his penis. I don't think things of this nature should be written, and I don't think they should ever be illustrated. So, due to this I only read a small amount of Robert Crumbs work due to the fact that I find it rather offending. I do have a comment about one other thing though. Crumb seems to be almost racist when it comes to black people. He puts them into his stories, but portrays them as being poor or hoodlum type people. He also draws them almost in the way you would draw a clown. They have big noses sitting atop these big outlined mouths (an example is below).
