The thicker the better for Mr. Crumb. Hell, this was one of the few clean pictures I found of his...LOL

The Yankees are about to win the 1998 Serious on YES.
Good Lord, are they young and skinny!

Crumb is a great artist. A freaky dude but a great artist . Familiar territory, I guess.

The documentary on ol' boy and his brothers was about as disturbing as his drawings. What a mess from which such mastery comes...

[4] Yeah it's amazing that he's actually the normal one among his siblings. I do remember that one of them painted some really cool stuff, too.

That documentary was terrific, wasn't it? But yeah, disturbing as hell.

I read somewhere that Crumb's good friends with Bill Keane of Family Circus. Polar opposites.

[7] Ha, Family Circus is such a hermetically sealed construct I wouldn't be surprised if that guy was freakier than Crumb.
