Unsatisfied with the transformation the United States had undergone from the counterculture of the 1960s to the culture of the 1980s, Crumb and his family left California two years after "Point the Finger" was first published and moved to a village in Southern France. Reagan's cuts to education had eliminated art and music classes at their daughter's school, so the Crumbs began volunteering their time teaching drawing, but students stopped showing up after a Christian minister told members of their community that the Crumb family were "agents of the devil". The Crumbs were living in Winters, California, but were unhappy with the rise of Ronald Reagan, his cuts to education, and the resurgence of the Christian right, members of which were attacking Crumb for his art. In the 1980s, American cartoonist Robert Crumb continued to satirize the culture of the United States in his work, but his style of underground art changed and became more refined as he studied older work like the 16th century Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder (1525–1569). The comic received additional attention in 2016, when Trump was elected president of the United States. Critics described the story as both sexist and prescient. In one, Crumb is arrested by the police for having wasted Trump's time in the second ending, two women give Trump a swirlie in the toilet. Two possible endings are shown to the reader. In the story, Crumb goes after then real estate businessman Donald Trump and imagines having an argument with him. The story appeared in the third of the four issue series of his solo title Hup. It almost seems like the perfect example of "be careful what you wish for, you just might get it"."Point the Finger" is a 1989 comic book story written and illustrated by American cartoonist Robert Crumb for Last Gasp. The "My Trouble With Woman" strip was also very good. You want to create something but you feel like none of your ideas are good enough. Rather than wait for his muse, he must have just drawn whatever he could think of. It made me think that Crumb just had this over-whelming idea to create a story, but he had no ideas. Reading a book by someone who seems more on the same wavelength as you than off it is always an enjoyable experience. We both have the same taste in women, we both have some bizarre sexual ideas, and we both seem driven to express our ideas, no matter how offensive of strange they may be. I don't know how Robert would feel about me personal but I think he and I are a like in a few ways. I think that no comic collection would be complete without his work though, so I decided to add a few books to my collection. I know people will hate me for this but I haven't read a lot of Crumb. ![]() I felt like it could be used in a video with George Carlin's monologue on America once being a pristine land.
