Crumb and I hung out a lot back then.
:13:05
We had records and comics in common.
:13:11
Check it out, man.
:13:16
Pretty scary.
:13:20
You don't know the half of it, man.
:13:23
Eventually, people got hip
to Crumb's artwork...

:13:26
and he started hanging out
with the bohemian crowd.

:13:30
After a while, he got sick of greeting cards
and moved away to San Francisco...

:13:34
where he got the whole underground
comic scene off the ground.

:13:42
He'd come back to Cleveland
every few years...

:13:44
and people would treat him like a celebrity.
:13:58
Once, he came to visit
when I was feeling real bad.

:14:01
It was right after my wife left me.
:14:03
She got so mean to me at the end...
:14:06
like I tried to keep her captive
or anything like that.

:14:11
I don't know, man.
:14:13
But don't think
I'm buying any of this growth crap, man.

:14:17
Everybody's always talking about
how bad experiences cause you to grow...

:14:20
and all that cliched stuff.
:14:23
Man, I got enough bad experiences
and growth to last me plenty.

:14:33
Right now...
:14:36
I'd be glad to trade some growth
for happiness.

:14:46
How long you staying in Cleveland, man?
:14:50
I don't know,
I got to see this chick in New York...

:14:52
and I'm really busy
with the comic book stuff.

:14:56
It's good bread and all.
I'm just getting sick of the whole scene.

:14:59
What are you talking about?
