...when I was a Professor of Hohosexual Revolution and Linguistics at
Fresno State College. Gilbo took me by.

He was exactly the way he was (like in the documentary). You really want
to like the guy, but he doesn't necessarily want to be liked.

He had a bunch of plastic and rubber toys around his studio, including the
cheery buck-toothed rabbit who was clearly the model for G*D in one of the
cartoons.

I was also amused to discover that Gloria Nord, ice skating queen, really
did exist and she was just the way R. Crumb portrayed her (sort of
anyway).

Excellent exchange between art critic/novelist Robert Hughes and Crumb
recently. Go root it up.
