...wearing giant sunglasses and eating his first meal of the day--a cheeseburger--at 1 p.m. "I'm not that well read. Which I'm insecure about since I've gotten the [intellectual] niche." He's not even sure how he pulled off the fake-nerd scam. "Maybe the sarcasm reads a little bit as intellect, even if it's not," he says. "My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically. I just say, 'Yeah. Cool.'" As he says this, I feel the confusing disappointment that I imagine young women painters feel when they find...
...still live in fear. The pervasive violence that has wracked Baghdad since the summer of 2003 has killed or injured tens of thousands, and has made random, unpredictable death a fact of Iraqi life.

But none of this history can prepare listeners for the vicious social and political criticism of “From the Plantation to the Penitentiary...
...fatuous interview by her publisher. Filled with advice like, "shopping can pick you up, just by distracting you from grim realities..." It reads more like a spread from InStyle magazine than a continuation of the earlier, penetrating work. Giving benefit of the doubt, it could be read as failed sarcasm. If that was the point, the failure, interestingly, is in the lack of any comix. Kominsky Crumb's artwork clearly changes the tone of her artistic voice, allowing the humor to come...
