Happy Birthday, Robert Crumb!

Those of us who remember the '60s and '70s, or at least parts of them, will certainly remember that Robert Crumb was a big part of things in those days. When I was in grad school, I'd often go by a place called Oat Willie's to pick up the latest underground comix, a big stack of which still resides in my desk drawer. Many of the comix were written and drawn entirely or in part by Crumb. Mr. Natural, Lenore Goldberg and her Girl Commandos, and other characters of his will always be tangled up in my memories. Crumb is 63 today, and long may he thrive.
