Robert Crumb, “A Short History of America”, 1979

Chris Ware on the strip, quoted in Todd Hignite’s In the Studio: Visits with Contemporary Cartoonists:

I’m obviously prone to hyperbole, but “A Short History of America” has got to be one of the greatest comic strips ever drawn; I find myself thinking about it, looking at it, and stealing from it probably more than any other single page. Even if this was all Robert Crumb ever drew, that’d be enough…

See it animated in the documentary Crumb
