Aline Kominsky Crumb

We get into our George and Gracie bit when we're doing that. I mean, I feel like I'm playing my role somewhat. And you kind of feed me lines, and I react in a way that I don't necessarily do in our real life. So what are your personas like in the cartoons? He's the straight man. He's George. He feeds the lines, and I take him up and run with him, and I'm like the fool.

This is like in the late 60s, maybe around 69, 70. And I thought I was the only Jewish girl being a cowgirl at the time. I thought I was really being a wild adventurist. And then I saw a comic book called... Dale Steinberger, the Jewish cowgirl, done by an artist named R. Crumb. And I thought, this guy's like stolen my life here. How can this be?

And at the same time, I also saw a character called Honey Bunch Kaminsky, and my last name is Kaminsky. And I thought, no, wait a minute, this is really weird. And then I met a bunch of other cartoonists who met me and said, you look just like an R. Crumb character. we have to introduce you to him.

So after I finished art school in Arizona, I moved to San Francisco, and then two weeks later I met Robert, and I had a strange sinking feeling that my destiny was sort of going to be forever entwined with his, and he looked at me and said, you have cute knees, and all he felt was lust and didn't think anything more. That's my version. Well, that's pretty much how it was, yeah.
