The thought of my internal functions, the organs, digestion, the brain, the nervous system, horrify me. I hate having to eat, shit, maintain the body – I hate my body. I hate having to get up in the morning and face another day of this insanity. I hate the mass media, and how passively people suck up to it. I hate the commodity culture, in which everything is bought and sold. Money is one of the most hateful inventions of the human race. I hate business, having to deal with money. Words cannot express how much it gets on my nerves – the false, pretentious, smug assertiveness of it. Every building built after 1955 should be torn down! I hate the hordes, the crowds in their vast cities, with all their hateful vehicles, their noise and their constant meaningless comings and goings. For one thing there are just too Goddamn many people. I hate most of what passes for civilization. Though I might be very fond of particular individuals, humanity in general fills me with contempt and despair. I cling desperately to the few things that give me some solace, that make me feel good.

In the foreword to the book- he claimed it to be his most faithful visual interpretation of the Book.Ĭrumb’s heavy cross hatching style works really well in this comic book and he illustrated each panel with so much care and details. “The book of Genesis” is considered Crumb’s magnum opus and took over 4 years to complete. His meticulous and attention to details in this book really make him one of the great comic artist of this era. But after reading “The book of Genesis” which he illustrated- it somewhat changed my view on it. I always felt his cross hatching was too heavy and dark for my taste, more than anything else. I did came across his works in the past and, but was never inclined to read or get any of his comics then. Later, I got his book “The book of Genesis” and became a big fan of his art. I must confess that I am hardly a fan of Robert Crumb, the legendary comic artist until I watched the documentary film titled “Crumb”.
