"The Family that Lays together Stays Together" By R. Crumb
It would only be right for something this offensive to be drawn as a comic. If this was an actual photograph of a family practicing Incest, there are chances that alot of legal issues would arise. I notice in alot of R.Crumb's work, there are sexual images/situations drawn in such a comical manner that to me, it appears he is joking or making fun of sexuality/sex/fantasies. I admire R. Crumb's freedom of being uncensored in most of his work. I believe that he tries to be controversial on purpose to upset those who are conservative and get people talking. I think the statement he is trying to make is not to conform, in a hippie type of way (to be uncensored). One thing that really stands out to me in this picture is everyone has a smile on their face, even the dog. It takes away from the seriousness of what sexual intercourse should be and twists it into some kind of joke. Comics are usually comical, where the characters smile and it lightens what is going on within the comic.
