Thread Name: New cartoon from R. Crumb
Subject: RE: New cartoon from R. Crumb
You guys are reacting to a "piece" of Crumb's broader work, taken out of context to suit some "other" purpose than the one Crumb was going for. Yes it is satire and it is nasty satire because there is a very nasty strata of "thought" and action that these cartoons (and many, many, others) address. Oh "sure" Crumb is a racist and religious bigot and going by OTHER cartoons, Crumb is a child molester, a rapist, a murderer and (so on and so on).

Get REAL, people! Crumb is what he always was; a far-out razor-penned social satirist! And that is a BUNCH!, yes indeed!

There are times (and this is one of those times) when I get the impression that most Mudcatters are a brainless lot, easily flim flammed and willing to respond to the lowest knee-jerk bait that has ever been posted on the web. You guys remind me of Flakey Foont!

McGofH is always excepted! Kevin, how do you manage to rise above all this? It is truly an art!
