...state, and although the Prime Minister, Goran Persson, is a man, he is also a "declared feminist." So what is Sweden's new political party, Feminist Initiative (FI), fighting for?

In the strip Walkin' the Streets (2004), he shows himself strolling at night with his older brother, Charles, locked in intense mental exchange. Charles killed himself in 1995. Crumb has also drawn their addicted mother, who tried - and failed miserably - to maintain the facade...
...tell all. "I'm on a mission," she says. "For much of my adult life I have talked the talk of feminism and then given up my voice to keep relationships intact. And in my third act, presuming I live to be about 90, I've decided to confront it. This is not just my story. It's true for many women. And I want to socially inoculate as many girls, and boys too, as possible to let them know it doesn't have to be this way. Resist...
