Robert Crumb and Dan Nadel with Naomi Fry — Crumb: A Cartoonist’s Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-tM8GC67LA In an unforgettable conversation moderated by New Yorker staff writer Naomi Fry, hear Crumb and Nadel on the making of Crumb’s iconic oeuvre — including Zap Comix, Fritz the Cat, Weirdo, his final book-length comic of The Book of Genesis, and more.
