This thread needs more Robert Crumb in it. The story of him and his brothers is /lit/ af

>Robert, Charles and Maxon grow up in stereotypical fifties suburban America
>Mom is crazed pill-popping chain-smoking fifties housewife
>Dad is stoic fifties everyman, secretly vastly disappointed in his sons, relationship with wife a total disaster
>Maxon and Robert speculate that somehow his activities in the Korean War brought bad karma onto the family. Maxon has had visions of angry Koreans
>The boys go to Catholic school, get hit with rulers by the nuns, acquire some classic Catholic guilt, etc
>The family moves, Charles is bullied in high school, feels that people can sense he is a homosexual pedophile, becomes steadily more dark and reserved
>In fact, all of the Crumb boys have supremely fucked up and grotesquely exaggerated libidos. Maxon goes on to do things like pull women's pants down in grocery stores, Robert is of course a massive pervert too as everyone knows
>Charles' life spirals further and further downhill. He takes to liquor, lives with his mother in a room full of books, stays inside for fear of acting on his pedophile tendencies, kills himself
>Robert takes soulless corporate job, then one day takes LSD, loses mind for a few days, crazed on the suburb, begins drawing psychedelic cartoons, becomes rich and famous
>Maxon takes the ascetic approach, lives a life of self-denial in a shitty hotel room, lives off of begging

And that's only the surface level

Is he the most /lit/ cartoonist?
