All three, plus Crumb’s two children, contributed to the life and work of one of the country’s greatest and most debated pop artists. But it also includes material about his wife, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, herself an important cartoonist, and his troubled brothers Maxon and Charles. The documentary surveys Crumb’s career and highlights his most notable creations, including the comic “Keep on Truckin’” and the character Fritz the Cat. Zwigoff continued his investigation of eccentric American creators with this portrait of the underground cartoonist Robert Crumb. The first, “Louie Bluie” (1985), was about Howard (Louie Bluie) Armstrong, a country blues musician, visual artist and gifted storyteller. Before directing films like “Ghost World” (2001) and “Bad Santa” (2003), Terry Zwigoff made two documentaries.

Pairs well with: Comic Book Confidential, In Search of Steve Ditko and other older comic book documentaries. I need more protein and less filler, thank you. There just isn’t enough meat, even though director Terry Zwigoff is feeding you a pretty large meal. This is enjoyable but for something lacking context and narrative depth, it’s too long. They may just see this and go, “Oh, that guy is good at making art caricatures and stuff” and then not really appreciate the context of what’s happening on screen and why Crumb is a pretty important cultural figure. You see, I know who Robert Crumb is, I am familiar with his more famous work but this film should have had a lot more about why this guy is important, as I feel like the layperson might not pick up on it. Some important career things are mentioned and discussed a bit but this really is more or less “a day in the life of…” than a retrospective or biographical work. It doesn’t really go too much into his work and his impact, it kind of just assumes that you already know who he is. The man is such a unique character that he can carry this documentary on his own.Īnd I guess that’s a pretty good thing as this film just sort of follows him around on average days. He’s one of the greatest cartoonists of his generation and he made several iconic comic strips that will go on to outlive him.
