...York Public Library made a striking contrast with Robert Hughes' paunchy ruddiness. Thin, with a full salt and pepper beard, eyeglasses and matted hair parted down the middle, Crumb wore a dark vest and suit jacket with a colorful tie and white shirt with an old-fashioned collar. The two explored Crumb's influences, contradictions, and the next big Crumb project, an illustrated version of the Book of Genesis. Highlights of the conversation...
...polite, affable Oldham remarked, “This is a Mighty Fine...what does the “A” stand for?,” belying his literate roots. He and Sweeney, and their blue-collar, hangover-paced dirges, resonated perfectly with the crowd of neo-barnyard city-dwellers, and transformed the Museum, at least temporarily, into a “trustagrarian” haven...

He does not fuss about which collar style may be appropriate to a man's face (most, he suggests, are good for all). He provides some lustrous little essays on royal dandies, polyester, loafers and the making of Harris Tweed, which is still turned out by hand, in the Outer Hebrides. The weavers have resisted most new technology, he reports, although they have given up their time-honored method of preparing the yarn for dyeing. Chemicals have...
