A LSD user, Robert Crumb contributed his weird style to his long use of this psychedelic drug.
In this piece, Crumb depicts these characters to match the weirdly written word next to it. He shows these youthful girls as something so "weird" and misunderstood. You can't really tell exactly what they are doing. We as the audience is confused and I feel this is exactly how Crumb wants us to feel. He uses a simple pen and paper as his medium. With this, you get the image jumping off the paper. Any comically drawn figure isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Weirdly, I think Crumb is just fine with that, which makes him an awesome Artist.
