This is a video of two members of comix royalty. R. Crumb for having invented it in his crotchety way, and Francoise Mouly for having given us RAW —*the door to the rest of the comix community.

Crumb is a genius and a treasure and i'm glad he's still productive-- but he's still laboring under the misunderstanding that "Crumb" the biographical movie has nothing whatsoever to do with his real life. And, his laugh, that sound of pain mixed with anxiety dusted with anger-- its still unpleasant.

It is really awesome to hear R. Crumb speak. Unfortunately the interviewer was disgustingly clueless about R. , his work and could not refrain from derailing the discussion, inadvertently of course.

I guess Crumb has to put up with clueless people like her because she is in charge of such an influential magazine. She couldn't seem to get out of her "editor of New Yorker" bubble. What a waste of an excellent opportunity to get an update on the inner life of a true genius of our age!

Wow! Thank you so much for this. I've heard something about the new comic on NPR but not in so much depth. This is great. I have to admit, the interviewer, whom I know nothing about, is annoying, and I'm unimpressed that she is from the NOOH YAW'KAH, as is, I'm sure, Mr. Crumb, but she did add some unique images, and, she did get him to open up about a lot of things. I agree that the movie, Crumb, really was somewhat contrived and that this interview is much more genuine.

This is very hard to listen to because the interviewer is so slow and says 'Um' too often. Using a laptop while interviewing does not help.

I found the interviewer incredibly annoying. Surely they could have got a professional to do the job. Spoilt the whole thing.

Maybe it's just me, but this was about as exciting as watching an earthworm crawl across my driveway.
