How perfect is it that I watched Crumb after watching American Graffiti? Amazingly perfect. R. Crumb was 19 years old in 1962, and his experience of America was quite different from the experiences depicted by George Lucas.
As an artist, Crumb struggles with the fact that not everyone is an artist. What may be more fascinating than Crumb are his two brothers, both of whom are basically non-functional and destitute - they're an even darker side to Crumb's already dark side. One gets the sense of just how lonely the true artist can be when he's left with only his art and his urges.
