| book description |

440 pages of Crumbâ€™s work! 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, â€œAs 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, nervousâ€¦â€To prove this self-flagellating analysis he fills the pages with his signature perversions (in country settings), scathing social commentary, cruel self-portraits, experimental cubismâ€¦ and some lovely sylvan landscape. His mastery of the Rapidograph pen is at its zenith here in his 40s; we only wish heâ€™d chosen to include his prescient comic of Donald Trump from 1989.
