Thank god this is preserved on youtube. When Crumb's generation, which witnessed the US's decline into consumerism first hand, dies off... at least videos like this will stand as a monument.

At this point, he hadn't even anticipated the "bought, sold, market-researched" cultural boom that was to begin with the explosion of Wall Street, credit swapping-- All that lead to a corporate boom and a subsequent complicity by the government. Technology and super-capitalism (buying and not paying for it on all levels) has lead to further numbing of any of humanity's potency for intellectual curiosity in "what's behind it all..." Robert shows a little bit of what's behind it all in his work.
