  Aline Kominsky-Crumb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aline Kominsky-Crumb is an underground comix artist most famous for her autobiographical stories of growing up in New York during the 1960s.
She was born Aline Goldsmith to a upper-middle class Jewish family in Long Island.
The superficial nouveau riche culture that she grew up in and the constant bickering of her parents led her to turn towards drugs, the counterculture and Greenwich Village as a teenager.

 Crumb Movie Review
Crumb's claim to fame is founding the underground comics movement in 1967, when issue #1 of his "Zap Comix" was released.
Crumb is also the creator of the "Keep on Truckin'" logo, the artist for the LP cover of Big Brother and the Holding Company's CHEAP THRILLS, and the originator of Fritz the Cat, which Ralph Bakshi turned into the first X- rated animated feature (a film that Crumb hates).
CRUMB is a rare and powerful documentary that completely absorbs the viewer and leaves an impression so blindingly clear that the afterimage cannot be blinked away even when the theater is far behind.

Robert Crumb was born in Philadelphia on Aug. 30, 1943, to a Marine father and a devout Catholic mother.
Although Kominsky's best-known work has, not surprisingly, involved collaboration with her legendary husband, the native of Long Beach, N.Y., was already cartooning when they met in the early '70s.
Crumb's anti-consumerist ideals are definitely '60s vintage, but he can't seem to decide whether he misses the decade or loathes its memory.

Early issues of Weirdo reflect Crumb's interests at the time – a mix of outsider art, fumetti, Church of the SubGenius-type propaganda and assorted "weirdness".

Crumb, the film, is stark and honest in its portrayal of the lives of these societal outcasts.

 dOc DVD Review: The Confessions of Robert Crumb (1987)
Comic artist Robert Crumb is a man who has inspired a lot of 'cult' worship and was one of the driving forces in independent comic publishing in the 1970s.
During the age of "peace, love, and rock-n-roll", Crumb's works were, metaphorically, thumbing their nose at the established conventions of comic books as vehicles for simplistic adventure stories.
Crumb says he's just being incredibly honest, which is true, but at the same time, constantly being outside the norm basically just becomes another norm.

 ImageTexT -- Why Art Spiegelman Doesn't Draw Comics -- Joseph Witek
Crumb's approach to the comix was much copied, but few cartoonists of any stripe aspired to Wilson's inimitable blend of scatological humor, sadomasochistic sex, dismemberment, torture, murder, bad puns, figure/ground trickery, anatomical exaggeration, and deadpan Grand Guignol violence.
Kominsky's drawings are primitive yet highly wrought, compulsive while apparently spontaneous, with erratically drawn figures, cramped panel compositions, and crude lettering in the text.
Yet unlike most underground comix artists, Kominsky is academically trained in fine art; her raw style is chosen to match the intensity of the emotions she depicts.

They wander through various situations ranging from the banal (Aline complaining that she doesn't draw as well as Robert) to the extreme (Robert shoving Aline's face into a pool of vomit).
This book is a terrific collection of his work with his wife Aline, (a "uniquely" talented artist in her own right, but an even better catalyst for delightful R. Crumb comics riffing and cruel but loving playful comics).
Aline is the best thing that ever happened to R. Crumb in his whole sensationally miserable life, and this book is just oozing with their unconditional, accepting, (yet warped), love for each other, whether they'd ever admit it openly or not.

 filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Confessions of Robert Crumb
And it's a little different -- this 55-minute film, shot in 1987, was written by Robert Crumb himself to essentially tell his life story at the behest of the BBC.
The film focuses on his life philosophies, his youth and ascent to fame (about which he is extremely humble), and of course, his comics.
Instead, Crumb offers up some gems -- a visual tour of the "perfect" female anatomy, some comments about Fritz the Cat, and various funny vignettes.

"Crumb," which is one of the most remarkable and haunting documentaries ever made, tells the story of Robert Crumb, his brothers Max and Charles, and an American childhood that looks normal in old family photographs but conceals deep wounds and secrets.
Movies like this do not usually get made because the people who have lives like this usually are not willing to reveal them.
"Crumb" was directed by Terry Zwigoff, who had two advantages: He had known Crumb well for years, and Zwigoff was himself so unhappy and suicidal during the making of the film that in a sense Crumb let him do it as a favor.

He was the editor of #1 - #9 (Peter Bagge edited #10-17 and #25, Aline Kominsky-Crumb did the remaining 10 issues).
All covers were drawn by Crumb and many "classic" Crumb strips were first published in Weirdo.
Personally I think that Crumb's 80s work is probably his best: His drawings got even better than before (see Weirdo covers 4, 11, 14...), and he did some of his all-time greatest strips like "Psychopathia Sexualis", "Midlife Crisis", "My Troubles With Women" and many more.
