Brother Buzz
(36,444 posts)If Crumb had his druthers, Bonnie Abbzug would have been illustrated as a full blow out 'True Amazon' woman.
I'd post R. Crumb's Ideal Woman: The "True Amazon" drawing but I suspect it would not survive a jury. Google® is your friend.

(39,343 posts)I've one in my bookcase.
Apparently Crumb did a calendar (of pics of characters and scenes) that were later put in order as chapter illustrations.

(41,987 posts)I know about the mysogyny and yet somehow it made me smile to be the object of such unbridled lust. I can handle that.
