- The mind is restless, the mind is turbulent, and meditation helps to still the waters.”
Legendary American counterculture comic book artist, Robert Crumb is known for his honest depiction of his inner self in various forms, expressing his own anxiety and desires. But there is a side to Crumb that is less known: He frequently meditates. In this video, he explains why. Read less ...
“We’re very addicted to our distractions - I am too.” Crumb tries to practice meditation that “stops that habit, that compulsion to distract yourself at all times.” The mind, he finds, is very impatient, and so it can be challenging to sit down and do nothing for a given period: “Everything you do just adds to your fucked-up situation. Everything you do just gets you in deeper. Life is a tar, baby.” Meditation, he finds, helps you see things more clearly and even “get a little bit unstuck.”
Robert Crumb (b. 1943) is an American cartoonist. Crumb, a counterculture comic book artist and social satirist, has enjoyed cult status for his underground comic strips, full of anti-heroes. Among these is a wide range of popular characters including Fritz the Cat and Mr. Natural. Much of his work has also appeared in Weirdo magazine (1981-1993), which he founded himself, and which was one of the most prominent publications of the alternative comics era. Crumb has received several accolades for his work, including his induction into the comic book industry’s Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1991 and the Angoulême Grand Prix in 1999. Crumb was also among the artists honoured in the exhibition ‘Masters of American Comics’ at the Jewish Museum in New York (2006-2007). In 2012 a retrospective of Crumb’s work was exhibited at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. He has frequently collaborated with cartoonist Aline Kominsky-Crumb, with whom he is married, and the couple have made a joint comic strip based on their life together through four decades. A collection of the comics, ‘Drawn Together’, was published in 2012.
Robert Crumb was interviewed by Christian Monggaard in connection with the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark in August 2019.

When I´m in autumn of life, i want to be like him: calm and clear minded. Listening to him is so pleasant.
@Lunises
They're definitely in the winter of their life, but Crumb would appreciate the generous word used. And yes, it's beyond refreshing and glorious to see someone at this age not just be so sharp of mind, but never growing old. You can hear it in every word and gesture...the man's still a horny little 20 year old lol.
I thought the same!
I don't see him as an old man. he still has a youthful mind
He's a perv dude.
He sounds like a 25 year old speaking out of an 80 year old body. Looking great for his age
you are so right. like your comment.
I was just about to comment this.
That's a nice proof that Brain doesn't age.
Was thinking the exact same thing :D

Mr. Crumb is such an amazingly authentic, thoughtful, curious, considerate and insightful man who's has struggled fitting into society specifically because he is an authentic, thoughtful, curious, considerate and insightful man. I wish people like him were the norm rather than the exception.
His comics regularly depict rape, incest, and racist depictions of marginalized people.
This man made fritz the cat. Underrated voice of a generation!!!
Thank you Robert Crumb
Mr. Crumb is an inspiration, love his work and hearing his thoughts about life... in the tar pit!
Great interview. Also a voice of a generation.
How wonderful is this 😍. He's been a part of my consciousness since 1970. ❤
Thanks Robert I need to meditate more
What a great artist.
Having the blessed honor of having my last BEST COMICS (Best of Two Worlds) book store location in the Haight Half a block from Ashbury immortalized in Terry Zwigoff's CRUMB! bio-doc, having both of them as customers when I got in some thing they liked, I wish to say RC comics soothed a lot of lost souls. From 1972-1993 I sold tens of thousands. It was a big event when a new Crumb appeared.
Seeing him reflect back in time is heart warming to me. Just because he *gets it* what is important in life. He allowed us to follow his life's path
I Just wanted to say I Love you because you are.
crumb is an absolute master. thank you, robert.
Keep on truckin', Bob!!!
Moving to France paid off. He's bloomed.
A clear explanation without the cosmic mumbo-jumbo: a very rare thing!
@Grenville Phillips
"From Mr. Natural"!
Sam Harris also has a very rational approach to meditation
True. This video got me into meditation just for those exact reasons
His mind is very healthy it seems.Cool guy! How am i just hearing about him and his art? Joe Rogan brought me here! thank you Joe.
I need to meditate more. I do everything else. But meditation would help. God, I feel for him. He's been through so much. His brother killed himself. His son died in a car wreck... and he just lost his wife... He needs this. Art is not enough to be the only therapy for him.
Damn he looks good for being 80.
@Hipster Elephant 76...

nearly 80
The Little Prince
He looks healthier now then when he was filming the Crumb documentary in the early 90's.
don't try and STOP the "distractions"..observe them....

one of the most peoplest people that has ever
My hero!
I would love to spend a day with Crumb, listening to old blues and folk and talking about life
Thoth????? YESSS! so you familiar with the 7 hermetic principles ofcourse?
greatest ever
when you have that "crazy' smile like a seasoned yogi you got "it"
... one of my favorite Robert crumb works, is a poster entitled, help build a better America. You can find it on the internet... In it, he recommends smoking two joints every day, For one year.
Jai Guru Dev.
Wise words. Not selling anything, no strings attached, just some good advise.
To be contemplative is not a special ability. Crumb's gift/curse was that he had the innate ability to compulsively express himself without the filter of self-reflection/self-consciousness. Most artists are too mired in self-reflection/self-indulgence and end up contemplating their navel for most of their lives. It is fortunate that Crumb only discovers how to be contemplative at this point in his life. Had he done this when he was younger he would not have been as prolific or powerful of an artist as he was.
interesting point
questionable tho, would like to hear some more opinions about this
@@fionaaron3854 today im too far away with the mind, I read two times your comment but I didnt fully understand it, will give a good one in the next days mate
I see what you mean
That doesn’t make sense. Even when he was compulsively expressing himself, contemplation is still there.
The myth of the “manic and tortured artist=prolific” needs to be put to rest. Are you insinuating meditation and clear thinking would have led him and others to less productivity and not being prolific?
Modern master.
He's a master of masters. Total respect
I'm here because Jordan Peterson mention Robert crumb Robert crumb sounds like a brilliant man
Where is the rest of this interview? I remember a much longer one in that setting but can't find it now. Would love to see it again and show my boyfriend. Anyone? Thx

Ralph Bakshi and Robert Crumb.... ah, what a pair!
Yeah, although some people have lost their minds from meditation believe it or not. Isn’t that the point I hear you say?, no, they went mad.
Most likely they had been repressing their madness all along. The meditation practice just gave them the self-knowledge to realise it. You make a fair point, though i.e. if you're not sure you can handle the answer, don't ask the question.

I can’t speak generally but from my experience going hard on the pranayama can get you to a Place they’ll say the drugs can get you to and I was happy I got the ol ‘good job, now stop doing that’ kind of message instead of getting my brain fried in high heaven.
@@justinbailey2347 whats wrong with free-holies ?
I hope you're doing okay, Robert.
if you listened to this with your eyes closed and were asked what outfit he was wearing, you'd never be able to guess
proves our body is just an "outfit "
I wonder what happened to his brother, the one who was a big meditator, a buddhist...was he an influence on Robert's taking up meditation?
cet homme est remarquable
... Robert crumbs poster, a Visual History of America, beautifully parallels the vision of Terence McKenna, as found at, we plants are happy plants, on RUclips.
His experience of meditation sounds just like mine.
I wonder where this (these) interview(s) were filmed. The nature in the background, with some wild bird of prey roaring, seems to nice for America, too pristine.. it looks like somewhere in Europe
It's in Denmark
“Life is a Tarbaby.”
😄 I like that.
What does it mean?
... Is that a dove in the background, Singing a song of peace?
Wow, he is as wise as mr. Natural! haha
Now I want to learn to draw
It's one of the most rewarding and challenging hobbies it honestly is brilliant when you get into it
