Just read any Crumb comics (http://www.toonopedia.com/crumb.htm) you can get your hands on. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

How can you be a Bush supporter and at the same time read (and appreciate) R. Crumb ?

This is an impossibility.

I wasn't sure I would like it or not. I did like it, though, and the extras are very funny and add a lot to making the movie easier to get into. The real guy the movie is based on is pretty funny and, yes, a little sad. Movies like this about stories like this about guys like this who write comic books like this are basically never, ever made, but the world is filled with these people, and they're at least as interesting as the sports and entertainment celebrities whose every hairstyle and every least fart so many of us seem to get so wrapped up in and want to give its own talk show.

Also kind of fun how they work cartoons and the real guy in and out of the movie. The more I watched it, the more I liked it.

I admit to feeling a bit squishy inside just that a movie like this could ever get made, much less gain some popularity.

Definitely a different kind of movie experience.

Definitely worth seeing. Giamatti is great as usual.
