...derivative, he pushes onward to a record store. His favorites have quite literally passed on. Judy Garland, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix-all killed by various ODs. The Beatles? Fragmented.

The '60s, in all their wide-open absurdities, still demand a more pointed epitaph than this. It will come as no surprise to head comic fans to learn that, on seeing what became of Fritz in the film, Crumb asked to have his name removed from all publicity. Meanwhile, the movie, largely because of Fritz's bathtub scene, got an X rating, something of a coup...
