The concept of Natch is quite simple.  Dig it, Zoyd is Mr. 
Natch.  Mucho is off-planet.

"In 1965, Crumb took some bad acid that left his perceptions 
"fuzzy" for several months. He couldn't function well on the 
physical plane, but his smeared brain invented and his hand 
recorded in his sketchbooks such characters as the Snoid, 
Flakey Foont, Eggs Ackly, Shuman the Human, and, foremost among 
them, this guy. Equal part con man and saint, Mr. Natural was 
everyone's favorite cartoon guru. Dispenser of wisdom, kicker 
of silly asses, Mr. Natural had a bad stretch in the '70s when 
he was committed to an asylum. He came back in the '80s, only 
slightly the worse for the wear."
