The rapport between them after forty years of marriage is incredible. So glad this is online. RIP Aline Kominsky-Crumb

She was an abusive opportunist. Kominsky-Crumb and her husband had an open marriage, and Kominsky-Crumb's "second husband", French printmaker Christian Coudurès, lived with the family (as did his daughter, Agathe McCamy, who assisted Kominsky-Crumb in coloring her comics)

Would have been nice if Aline Kominsky-Crumb was acknowledged in the title too, given that it was both of them interviewed. Especially as they point out how few women were cartoonists when they started out, she was a pioneer. Otherwise, great interview, left me wanting to hear more.

there were all sorts of cartoonist that were women before the rotate were way better. Weirdly pre feminist cartoonists were excellent.

2024-04-14: Aline died in 2022. She knew The Fugs. She was also a cartoonist. A cartoonist daughter. IMHO They were both worthy of an interview. Thanks for posting❗️

@MicahMicahel 3 ай бұрын

her comics weren't very good. Do you think her being married to Crumb is the reason to give her equal billing? Is this about fairness to you? Or are you consistent with this opinion and you want husbands of famous women to be interviewed too? Politicos are so tiring nowadays. Anti art too.

*I've known of Robert's work all of my life but (rather inexplicably) never realized how profoundly influenced it was by Aline. Until this clip drifted, randomly, into my feed. Now, there's an entirely new aspect of **-his-** **_their_** work for me to explore. This is what KZbin does better than any other platform in social media.*

Aline is a wonderful advocate for Robert's work and her inclusion is worthy, but it would also be nice to have a separate interview with Robert alone, as her powerful nature can't help but dominate the conversation, even when promoting Robert.

my sister (proverbial hippie) used to work for Crumb very early 70s in Montreal. She sold his underground magazines and was allowed to keep a portion. A group of them stayed in an apartment where they printed the mag. Mag had drug prices listed and his comics in them. They said my sis could stay. They'd make a massive pot of soup daily that everyone could share. Door to to apartment had a Pig poster with something relating to cops written on it.

Airline & Robert look really I've a been admirer of Roberts work since the mid eighties my X girlfriend put me on to his comics she use to have so one of his comics weirdo , I lived in San Francisco use to panhandle on pine & Montgomery I would chat to Maxine his brother got to know him he would give me a couple bucks & we would talk about how Robert took off from America, maxin told me that everyone wanted a piece of Roberts brain so he moved to France but I wished I'd met him amazing artist true eccentric of old timy of America. This a brilliant interview thing I like about Robert he is so honest I really enjoyed this footage , thank you Robert your a genius 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☮️👌❤️

R. Crumb eventually over the years, lost most of his social awkwardness, evident in his body language as he interacted with the "helpers" before the interview. Go R. Crumb! Damn you, Jordan Peterson.

@MicahMicahel 3 ай бұрын

why damn Jordan Peterson? Huh? Jordan Peterson said he likes Robert Crumb comics and the Freak Brothers by Gilbert Shelton. He's a Jungian psychiatrist and scientist. Are you against Jungian Psychiatry? Maybe you think Robert Crumb isn't politically incorrect? He would be cancelled in a second if he tried releasing stuff today. The left is completely totalitarian or socially fasciist. Also Crumb was against he experimental medication all leftists were in favour of. He's practically a right winger in American terms. You believe Crumb;s comics aren't completely offensive to leftists? They are anti art nowadays.

I initially thought this too until I realised that it was actually an interview of husband and wife, who are both cartoonists. The video title is misleading. He's got plenty of interviews on his own if ‘the female’ cartoonist's perspective bothers you.

greatest artist ever! ( norman rockwell,neal adams, s.clay wilson, same graduate class) my only gripe with Robert as with george harrison and Many others is their Absolute Denial and Recognition of how L.S.D. improved their work and Life! I'm not sure if it's their inability to share credit or the stigma of "DRUGS" This is of course a tremendous Disapointment to the Many of us that know and Appreciate the Benefits of this Medicine that could/would Help Humanity and the World! I'd say it's time for Legalization' But it Never Should have been demonizsd in First place.

Art is the externalization of an inner emotional-intellectual need to resolve the conflict of the need not being expressed. My emotional state has got far worse since I developed a bad tremor that has stopped me from drawing. I had to lose it in order to properly evaluate it's functional value.
