The legendary underground comix artist Robert Crumb continues to live as an expatriate in France.
"The French department of Gard is known for its Roman ruins, its landscape covered in scrubland, its Provençal villages, and… the cartoonist Robert Crumb, best-known as R. Crumb. This rugged but picturesque setting, once used as a place of hiding by members of the Resistance, has for years been home to a hero of American counterculture. In 1991, Crumb, who was born in 1943 in Philadelphia, and went on to become one of the greatest cartoonists of the last 50 years, decided to settle down in a medieval village in the south of France. He never left and seems to feel right at home."
