Now here's an unexpected treat for fans of legendary underground cartoonist R. Crumb... The Confessions of Robert Crumb, a candid, European TV documentary from 1987, is now online. This is not to be confused with Terry Zwigoff's 1994 documentary... It's a completely different film, much shorter and less penetrating but still definitely worth seeing. During my first throes of Crumb mania in my early twenties, I spent years looking for this doc and never managed to track down a copy. Don't assume it'll be online for long. (Of course, some language and images are not safe for work. This is R. Crumb, remember.)

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
