R. Crumb's America #[nn]
In "Let's Talk Sense About This Here Modern America," R. Crumb delivers a stark, satirical journey through the transformation of an American landscape—from open grassland to a cluttered, consumer-driven street scene—rendered in his signature raw, expressive style. The story concludes with an epilogue that presents three divergent, thought-provoking futures for the land, leaving the outcome open-ended. The full artwork, from pencils to inks to lettering, is by R. Crumb, with the cover also drawn and inked by him.
