My Troubles with Women

Resumen del libro

Robert Crumb's talent for uninhibited autobiography shines in this collection of personal stories of sexual and family life, with comics about the women in his life: from casual sex partners to next- door neighbors to his wife and daughter. Revealing both his softer side and filthiest fantasies, this is Crumb at his most vulnerable, with comics that are hilarious, touching, disturbing, sexy, and, as always, unsparingly truthful. Includes "I'm Grateful! I'm Grateful!", "Aline 'n' Bob," "Memories Are Made of This," "Uncle Bob's Mid-Life Crisis," "Footsy," "My Troubles With Women," "My Troubles With Women Part 2," "Aline 'n' Bob in Our Lovely Home," "More Good Clean Fun with the Crumb Family," and the infamous "If I Were a King."
