	Robert Crumb's Sweet Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Crumb was always faintly anachronistic in the hippie comix scene (and indeed his best work has all been done since, as his acid-inspired sense of belonging eroded in the cynical 70s and worse 80s, to be replaced with an oddly humane misanthropy) and his taste in music bolsters this impression.
		Crumb has never made any bones about his hatred for rock, and rock and roll, and indeed anything that wasn't pressed on shellac by desperately obscure bluesmen and jazzers in the twenties and thirties.
		Crumb's inclusion in the choice of writers was immediately surprising, since while he's a relatively famous man, anyone knowing who he is will also probably know what kind of music he likes.

		Crumb (while admittedly under the influence of LSD) instead drew comics that came directly from his id, creating often-bizarre characters and tackling satiric themes.
		It is here in his family's recollections that the roots of Crumb's genius are ferreted out: from the torment of growing up mostly unloved, misunderstood and unable to connect with any of his peers.
		Through their tales of a tyrannical father who wanted one of his hopelessly nerdy sons to "be a Marine" and of a mother addicted to amphetamines, the Crumbs go beyond being a cast of eccentrics to embodying the tragedy of dysfunctional families.

	Carnegie International - Artist Bio
		For 40 years, through a steady stream of underground Comix publications and more recently drawings, Robert Crumb has been an epic raconteur of everyday life in the United States.
		Taken together, Crumb's stories are telling portraits of human weakness, cruelty, and stupidity, indictments of human indifference, superstition, fear, paranoia, and narrow-mindedness.
		Over the years, Crumb has been criticized for illustrating so vividly and with such relish a lexicon of the basest impulses of the human psyche at its most sexually violent, racially ignorant, and virulently misanthropic.

		Robert Crumb, now in his 62nd year, is the one and only genius the 1960s underground produced in visual art, either in America or Europe.
		Then tastes changed; Crumb became more desirable in the artworld, not because of pop art, but because of the enormous influence on collectors and museum people of the "dumb" figuration of the late, great Philip Guston, which was itself largely based on comic strips such as George Herriman's Krazy Kat.
		What counts for Crumb, and should continue to count for his fans, is that he gets on with what has always been, for him, the immediate job at hand: continuing to make the kind of drawings that his mother and father would never, not in a month of Sundays, have allowed him to see.

		Crumb is sometimes hilarious, often depressing and always entertaining – a rare combination in a documentary film.
		Crumb escaped the mental illness that ended both his brother's careers as artists (Charles was equally as talented), but otherwise had a perfectly miserable childhood and adolescence.
		But Crumb has always considered himself to be an outsider and enjoys the feeling of `being very removed or extremely separated from the rest of humanity and the world in general'.

		Crumb also chronicled the life of the ultimate wimp (R Crumb), the misanthrope (R Crumb), the dysfunctional family (the Crumbs).
		The film put Crumb's life in context - yes, his foot fetish, his piggyback fixations and his urge to dominate big, dominant women (in a pretty submissive way) were weird, but not half as weird as those of his two brothers.
		Robert Crumb was born in Philadelphia, the middle of five children - Charles, Carol, Sandra and Maxon.

	Review: Crumb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

		Also featured are Crumb's gorgeous "Pioneers of Country Music" color portrait series, and such Weirdo classics as "The Religious Experience of Philip K. Dick," which chronicles the last years of the highly-regarded science-fiction writer who experienced an intense vision of the apocalypse and believed that he was possessed by the spirit of Elijah.
		The definitive, comprehensive series reprinting the entirety of Crumb's published career enters the mid-1980s with this 15th volume, a period that many critics consider to be the richest of Crumb's career.
		Crumb's conscience overshadows his id (just barely) to produce some of his most prescient and trenchant social commentary the workd has ever seen, plus a whopping dose of American Splendor, and strips and illustrations from Co-Evolution Quarterly and Winds of Change.

		I brought it up with Robert again a few months ago, and he said he’d still like to do it if he had the time and enough money to dedicate a couple of years to it, because it’s a major, major project.
		As for Crumb’s book, given that it’s won’t see publication for roughly two and a half years, Kitchen felt it was premature to talk marketing, although he did acknowledge that the creator would be minimally involved in the book’s marketing.
		“Robert has made it perfectly clear that he will not do things that are usually expected of authors – he will not do an author tour, and probably would never appear on a television show, with the possible exception of a Charlie Rose– it would have to be something intellectually stimulating,” Kitchen said.

		In fact, Crumb's repeated rejection of commercial opportunities (he once turned down an offer to do a Rolling Stones album cover because he hated the band) marks him as one of the last remaining exemplars of the egalitarian '60s hippie ethos he came to represent for so many people.
		Crumb and his brothers soon became experts on the comic form, treasuring late '40s work like Little Lulu and, later, Walt Kelly's Pogo.
