Robert Crumb 1986

[wordreet]

@DeepSouthWrestling1 Ah, the asshole part.

[DeepSouthWrestling1]

I love Crumb's work, but he's such an asshole to his fans... sign their fucking books, you egomaniacal jackass!!!

[nuke97]

This awesome!!

[vinnynumbnuts]

Interesting footage there, TileNut. Wish I could've been there. And why is Robert there looking somwhat reluctant, a bit awkward and not always the gracious and appreciative celebrity with the odd fan? It's all because of his older brother. "Charles said I had to do it (draw, that is)," Robert would say.

[OpiumKoolaid]

Robert had no choice. It was either become a cartoonist, or explode into a million pieces.

[cha5]

Absolutely fucking not, except when he's having sex.

Hahah good/true answer!

[skoob6969]

Would like to talk with Mr. Crumb.

[56BUICKRiviera]

He looks like Barney Fife. He is the best at what he does. Cool video. Hes all signed out

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome guy

[FlexYourLoveMuscles]

i've read interviews where Crumb has described this as a pretty dark time in his life, and that he nearly killed himself at one point. But then, he is sort of a cave wimp, or a flakey foont, after all.

[marisoldrama]

SHIT! Circa '86 in Santa Monica Hi De Ho. Fuck I go there to get my comic books. DAMMMN! Thanks for the video.

[bluesborn]

Robert reminds me of sci-fi author Spider Robinson who I met in Vancouver at a blues bar.Another really nice guy,unassuming,hip and very very bright.

[ozzyscruggs1]

Robert Williams in front of the painting of the blue car?

[konzwambii]

great guy, dammit

[mistabook]

I *thought* that was Spain! Nice to see Moscoso, too. This is a very cool video.

[cha5]

I think he also really hated being having a camera constantly in his face when 'Crumb'

the movie was being filmed.

[toonin1adelphianet]

And the taller guy as you pan left is Victor Moscoso, Zap and poster artist.

[xeokym]

I know, I was thinking the same thing - he's so touchy that if you shoved the camera any closer, he'd probably say something or freak out. That's actually pretty good for the year, though.

[tstilll]

It's odd how informal the whole thing is. It's like they're in someones living room. And these guys charged the comic world with a kind of energy that, to me, makes them more important than any rock star for simply the amount of time, energy and creativity they put out.

[oystermind]

I love 'at guy

[slithygogs]

Oh Robert, not much sympathy for the general public. Too loveable, though...
