''This movie chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb
is the cartoonist/artist who drew Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and
played a major pioneering role in the genesis of underground comix.
Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, and ex-
girlfriends, as well as selections from his vast quantity of graphic
art, we are treated to a darkly comic ride through one man's
subconscious mind. As stream-of-consciousness images incessantly flow
forth from the tip of his pen, biting social satire is revealed, often
along with a disturbing and haunting vision of Crumb's own betes
noires and inadequacies. As his acid-trip induced images flicker
across our own retinas, we gain a little insight into this complex and
highly creative individual''
