I hate to quibble over details, here, but this comic is not his latest work at all...It appears in a longer format in the anthology "R Crumb's America" and is copyrighted from 1993. It is significant to note that these strips were intended for his work aiming specifically at american mores and hangups, and that part of the message he was trying to convey was definitely contextual. There's always been the shock, in-your-face, confrontational element to Crumb's work, especially in his work concerning race in America, and it can't necessarily be taken at face value.
