...relationship has been a mixed blessing on Kominsky Crumb's artwork, raising its exposure while exposing it to unfair comparison. Even worse, she says, people assume that her husband does all the writing and drawing on their collaborative works. In many ways her artwork perfectly counterbalances Crumb's. Where he has one of the finest drafting skills of any living cartoonist her "tortured scratching" (her words) makes a mockery of proportion, weight and space. People hate her for it just as people hate Robert Crumb for his outlandish depictions of women and blacks. But just as Crumb's art comes...
...would have Wilson accept a conviction to a lesser charge, be sentenced to 15 years in prison, with 10 of those years suspended.

I'd say that comes pretty damn close to undermining the mission...
...says. “When we have parades, we have, like, Snoopy balloons. When they have parades, they have fucking tanks. They shoot fucking rockets through the streets.” Perhaps comparing Tiananmen Square with the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is unfair. But a cult of personality does go a long way toward inspiring obedience and support in a nation. And if all else fails, threats of physical harm are generally successful. Harvard students know why Communism is attractive. “If you hold off, they kill you, right? I’d just...
