So here's my attempt at making a comic that relates to Crumb's "Mr. Natural". Initially I started out trying to draw characters in a similar style to how he does it. Mostly simplistic with line work. He has variation in line from the main outline to details throughout the page. I came up with two characters, one asking the other about his life. I tried to in a way parallel Mr. Natural and Flakey Foont. In one comic I read, "Mr. Natural & Flakey Foont Thinkin' About Death 'N' Stuff", Flakey tries to talk seriously to Mr. Natural, but Mr. Natural just sort of gives him short answers. It seems he's just humoring him. So I tried to give my comic a feel like that. Where one character is trying to talk seriously, but the second just has fun. I didn't try to do backgrounds like Crumb, however. He has a much more linear way of working backgrounds with line work and detail. I wanted to change that just a little to add my own style to it.
