R. Crumb: conversations
A 1991 interview I did with Robert Crumb has been
included in a collection of conversations with R. Crumb,
published by the University Press of Mississippi. I just got a
copy a few days ago. My interview with Crumb first appeared in the Rocket (a NW
music tabloid that I was associated with at the time) and I'd forgotten about it
until I got a call asking for permission to use it.
I
recall being unsure about interviewing Crumb, assuming he'd rather draw comics
than talk about them, I also figured he also rather talk to a girl than a guy
(Crumb's taste being well-established) so I foolishly baited Crumb by signaling
in advance that we didn't have to talk about comics, we could talk about sex,
old records, France, or whatever he preferred, like, well, sex. The results are
entertaining.
