R. Crumb zaps the Book of Genesis in latest work

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Artist R. Crumb might be best known for his irreverent and often baudy comic-strip characters like Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural.

Now he’s tapping his unconventional religious upbringing to render the Christian story of Creation with “The Book of Genesis.”

The 66-year-old says he was raised in a secular household but his ex-Marine father sent him to Catholic school to instill discipline.

Crumb says he has spent the last five years working on the 201-page book filled with detailed, beautifully crafted black-and-white drawings.

While he’s not a believer in the story of Genesis, Crumb says the stories in the Bible’s first book are incredible and highlight some of the best and worst traits of humanity.
