Crumb on Crumb

Crumbproducts.com has three of the autobiographical pieces written by R.Crumb as introductions to The Complete Crumb series. They're worth a read! Someone should collect together all Crumb's written pieces and interviews into one place... that would be a great book as he's always entertaining.
Anyway, they have :

"Minds are Made to be Blown" Crumb reflects on 1966-'67

"Roughing It" Crumb in the early '70s

"Dealing With Reality" Looking Back at Work and Music in 1972–73

The Comix Reader launch party! POSTSCRIPT

Thanks so much to everyone who came last night! I wasn't sure how many would make it (imagining myself broken and humiliated in an empty room) but it was far busier than I could have imagined. There were guests before I'd even arrived, and by 7.30 we'd filled the room, and were spilling out into the main bar.
I met many cool comics (and non comics) people and had many interesting conservations, & I hope it was the same for everyone else... and if so it was a successful night and worth doing.
I also received plenty of good advice on where to take The Comix Reader next.
The only shame is that I didn't get a chance to speak to everyone, and that I forgot to take any photos!

The Comix Reader launch party is TONIGHT!
