This week I read Zap Comix and Robert Crumb's Mr. Natural. I found both works hilarious and really amusing. The content of both pieces are drugs, sex, raunchy comedy, and lots of profanity. Mr. Natural is a spiritual guru that is a bit of a jerk. I like how Crumb gave him human flaws and characteristics as well as his ridiculous humor and how he psychologically messes with Flakey Foont. Another interesting thing about the comics was that you could tell it came from the 60's because of the references to the drugs, fashion, culture and especially slang. Its a caricatured view into a past time.
