Robert Crumb’s Sex Obsessions



“Somehow the Devil got me!” Robert Crumb’s personal selection of his most secret fantasies. They have little to do with the standard procreative urge, Mr. Crumb admits. He has also said he finds nothing more boring than someone else’s sexual obsessions, and yet through his long career the world’s most famous underground cartoonist has felt compelled to include his own sex fantasies in his art. He explains it as a compulsive catharsis, while fans call Crumb’s erotic fantasies the Master at his best.

Now Robert Crumb has selected his most intimately revealing comic strips and single page drawings to create a 258 page encyclopedic trip through his sexual psyche. All images were created between 1980 and 2006, and all strips are hand-colored for a lush vibrancy never seen in his comic books.

In total, the book features 14 complete stories, including “My Troubles With Women,” “If I Were a King,” “A Bitchin’ Bod,” and “How To Have Fun With a Strong Girl,” as well as 60 single page drawings. The artist admits it’s a little scary to see his most fevered obsessions collected end to end like this, but fans will find “Robert Crumb’s Sex Obsessions,” a fascinating peek inside an often tortured, always brilliantly talented mind.

Jazz is an original American Art Form and there is no doubt that Robert Crumb is an Original American Artist. The French love Jazz and Robert Crumb has lived in France. Is that why the two are so associated?

Another original Artist is the Film Maker, Woody Allen, who also loves Jazz. Allen has played in a Jazz band and even toured Europe. And finally, I am an original American who enjoys Jazz, too. So what does it all mean? There is no connection that I can see – except the music.
