Downhill Asemics; madness on the continuum

First;
 Kurt Schwitters, step by step removes all syntactic structure from the text.

*)Here the typographer went stark raving mad and threatened a general strike,  should he be forced to set any more Kuhgewitter (Cowweather).
(from; Pppppp: Kurt Schwitters Poems, Performance, Pieces, Proses, Plays, Poetics )

Then;
Charles Crumb removes all distinguishability between letters and reduces punctuation.

A next logical step towards total insanity might be  to remove spacing and expression, reducing the text to a line-based grid

However I'd say the real difference between Crumb and Schwitters here is that Schwitters is frisky jumping up and down the continuum whereas Crumb is forever glued to a fixed point.
