Robert Crumb

'When I was four, I knew I was weird'

From 60s hippies to 90s film-makers and 21st-century art galleries,

each generation has rediscovered the misanthropic,

sex-obsessed cartoonist Robert Crumb.

Now it is to happen again:

in coming days

he will be the subject of two retrospectives,

a film season and a new biography.

To celebrate,

the Guardian this week

will publish a selection of new and little-known Crumbs,

along with some more familiar works.

Today, Simon Hattenstone introduces the series

by interviewing him at his home in the south of France.
