Robert Crumb is an American cartoonist that was very popular in the seventies and eighties, i was attracted to his work because he has a different style, it´s nothing to do with the general American comic industry and i find his style more interesting; he was one of the founders of "underground comic" although his stories have been quite controversial because he had a really acid humor.
In his comics he talked about his personal life, always talking about his wifes and sexual life but he has also made other invented stories and characters, like "Fritz the cat" or "Mr Natural"
Talking about his technique i like the way he used ink, it reminds me of Goya engravings. He made some documentaries about his lifestyle, this is one of them:
