Raw Materials: A DTLA Love Story
It’s a classic DTLA love story: Boy meets Downtown, boy falls for Downtown, then boy meets girl who LIVES downtown. They get married and open up an art supply store (along with girl’s brother-in-law and faithful pup “Wonton”).

Crumb’s psychedelic comics—including the characters Fritz the Cat, Mr. Natural, Devil Girl and the popular Keep on Truckin’ cartoon— propelled him overnight to celebrity status in San Francisco’s burgeoning underground scene.
