What was weird about this movie?


Besides the piggyback ride fetish?

all of the brothers have sexual issues.
charles is into young boys, particularly the boy in "treasure island."
max went thru a "molesting phase" of pulling women's pants down in public.
robert is probably the most normal, but he's into big strong women, particularly big asses and legs, but he's into dominating them, sort of "taming" them rather than being dominated by them. he also was sexually attracted to bugs bunny as a kid.
so yeah. weird stuff.

it basically all started when crumb started being totally honest in his comics. he just let all of his thoughts, no matter how sick, pour out onto the page. by the time this documentary was made, he felt he really had no secrets left to keep because it's all in the comics, so he didn't mind discussing it all with the filmmaker, a friend of his.

One word: EVERYTHING.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, or doesn't.
