“I stand in the blistering heat as the epitome
of the anti-hero
Stitchin' up my injuries and flippin' imagery
, mixing toxins 'til I'm lost in the synergy”

“I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine”

Sunshine
In Exile Deo (2004)
Context: I've been sleeping through my life
Now I'm waking up
And I want to stand in the sunshine
I have never been ecstatic
Had a flower but it never bloomed
In the darkness of my wasted youth
It was hiding in the shadows
Learning to become invisible
Uncover me

“There's a new sun rising
From a lost horizon
And the heat that it brings
Melts away all the things
That has made me stand still
Been a long time coming
So tired of running
I believe there's a reason
I came through the season again
It's my resurrection.”

Anastacia (1968) American singer-songwriter

“As a matter of survival I've created this anti-hero alter-ego, a guy in an ill-fitting suit—part humunculus and part clown. Yep, that's me alright … I could never relate to heroes. I have no interest in drawing heroic characters. It's not my thing, man. I'm more inclined toward the sordid underbelly of life. I find it more interesting to draw grotesque, lurid, or absurd pictures, and I especially enjoy depicting my fevered sexual obsessions.”

Robert Crumb (1943) American cartoonist
