MR NATURAL #1 UNDERGROUND COMIC BOOK
BY THE LEGENDARY ROBERT CRUMB
A collection of weekly strips that originally appeared in the Village Voice (NYC, N.Y.) newspaper.
Mr. Natural (first name Fred) wears only a smock and a pair of humongous shoes. His weight varies widely from one appearance to another. He looks a little bit like O.G. Wotasnozzle, and Crumb has acknowledged some debt in designing him to the protagonist of Gene Ahern's The Squirrel Cage. His background is obscure — sometimes he's said to be a former taxi driver from Afghanistan, sometimes an escaped convict, but usually, the issue isn't raised. He makes his living as a rather worldly guru, sponging off of any disciple who will give him a meal or, better yet, pay cash for his wisdom.
