Comic Con India Special Session With Robert Crumb, conducted by Gary Groth (Part # 1)

[@known_unknown284]

For those that don't know (see comments below), Gary Groth is arguably partly responsible for Crumb's transition into being an art hero in the MODERN era and has helped Crumb earn significant amounts of money. This may be why Crumb seems to tolerate or perhaps even slightly respect him more than a lot of other people.

An almost perfect interview!!! Outstanding interviewer, presentation and ICONIC LEGENDARY INTERVIEWEE

[@KapowComicBookShow]

Great to see him make it out to India, he was going to come to Australia to do a talk at the Opera House but the media were quite brutal about his previous work, so he didn't want to come anymore.

[@gnuPirate]

Fuck, really? I didn't hear about that. What media? Packer empire? Murdoch scum?

[@vishalrana1552]

How he speaks man, I just picked it up for a while when I saw the documentary first. It was hard to drop, but I dropped it. He was in India, it was fu"king insane.

[@henrikrolfsen1889]

The talent of Robert Crumb, transcends the "Psychodelic", like so many other great artists in history, he is a one-of-a-kind, and he, like so many other geniuses in history, felt naturally compelled to produce. He had no choice, "The great Springwell of Creativity", as Bob Dylan would put it, "Was compelling him to produce. He had no choice."

[@7ai5han]

Thank you for posting this video. It's very exciting to see the appreciation of art as it travels across continents, across cultures.

[@pierrebrunet2284]

Dear robert , I guess that you know , that , in france there is a cartoonist , drawing cartoons caracteres ,with a familiar style of expression , kind of similar in many way to your work, his name is GOTLIB , But you still my favorite cartoonist , from them all !

❤❤❤❤❤❤2 comics legends

[@agentbigman]

Its awesome to see such a conversation happening at Comic Con India.

[@sclogse1]

Since my neighbor, S.Clay Wilson passed, I've been going back in time.

[@BIgBass255]

Crumb is one of the original Nerds.

[@zcosmos9]

Watch Terry Zwigoff's CRUMB

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Robert is fascinating!

[@vishalrana1552]

His documentary director was David Lynch, it was well made. One of the most interesting people

[@Aalborg42]

@@vishalrana1552 nope! It was Terry Zwigoff

[@GyntherMeyer]

@@vishalrana1552 "The film is "presented" by David Lynch, though he had no actual involvement in its making. In the commentary Zwigoff did with Ebert, he says that Lynch did not respond to a request for funds until after the film was already finished, but they agreed to include Lynch's name in the advertising and credits to attract more viewers." (Wiki)

[@YoungNBoredonYouTube]

theres probably a guy who works at the post office in the crowd

[@jpcancela]

I bet some of this people don't even know who he is, and how this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. LOL

[@vishalrana1552]

He is amazing.

[@Stoney-Jacksman]

Why do you assume that.. So riddled with bias in that nasty whyte superiority bias complex of yours. Also, why is it a once in a lifetime opportunity? Crumb is a cool guy, makes dope comics, but stop with that typical American idol worshiping a human into infinity. It's nauseating and ironically very uncrumblike.

[@mindsigh4]

@@Stoney-Jacksman no ego here ⬆️

[@mindsigh4]

but at least it's not one of those nasty white superiority biased ego complexes... right? nope, gotta bona fide ego of color here folks...

[@donsal.t.1765]

thought this was Les Claypool for a second

[@sankararaobali2670]

very..very...nice artist in angle...

[@cha5]

“Is LSD available here in India?!”

[@TheloniousCube]

The Kibosh!

[@MrCrispian]

wow i was in India at the same time

[@robertszymanski717]

To explain some one that doesn't know who Crumb is.. just say " The guy who drew the cartoon on t shirts Keep on Trucking!"... and the cartoon Fritz the Cat! I myself love the way he draws! Especially women!

[@keithhayes3600]

Gawd - they rented the camera jib and just had to over use it. Not once do you see a tight shot of Crumb’s face. Terrible video editing.

[@CesarTorres13]

I am here just for R. Crumb, but this interviewer is dismal. And don’t get me started on the needless camera angles and cuts...

[@anthonyfisher5076]

shitty INTERVIEWER and what a waste of a great moment!

[@mindsigh4]

yep, word for the interviewer that comes to mind is "obtuse''. ive seen more enthused dead people.

[@DouxchCorp]

1:57- 2:00 hahahaha

[@pretorious700]

jeez, how do you become a "comic critic"? sounds like a pretty pointless calling

[@marknewton6984]

Like Cuomo (Fredo)?!

[@jpcancela]

What a horrible interviwer. He doesn't pay attention to what Crumb says, he barely laughs with him, he's just too worried about the whole interview thing. You gotta know how to conversate.. It gets better by the end thbo.

[@jpcancela]

***** You think? I actually think Crumb's great at conversating, and can easily express himself through words. And that ''blowing nose'' thing is just him showing off, showing he doesn't care and hates that kind of bullshit. Somewhat punk attitude.

[@imjustthemessenger1225]

+jpcancela u i like, i hate the rest.

[@jojot.9916]

+jpcancela I just noticed the exactly same thing...

[@cameronarthur0]

Gary Groth is a friend of his. He has published several of his books. He is also one of the founders of the Comics Journal where he has conducted tons of great interviews.
