Francoise Mouly On The Passing Of Aline Kominsky-Crumb
When I saw the sad news of Aline Kominsky-Crumb’s passing the other day, I got up from my work table and walked a few steps to a bookshelf that holds the small number of “underground” comics I’ve managed to hold onto since the mid 1970s. I knew that I wouldn’t have to hunt for my copy of Dirty Laundry, a 1974 Crumb husband-wife effort — I’ve always had it in plain view.
Social media has been abuzz with tributes to Ms. Kominsky-Crumb since the news broke of her death. Here’s The New Yorker‘s Art Editor, Francoise Mouly on her friend’s passing.

Jason Chatfield’s Stoop Finds
Here’s a fun site by New Yorker cartoonist Jason Chatfield. Mr. Chatfield began contributing to The New Yorker in 2017.
Really enjoyed his latest post, “Stooping In New York” — a graphic account of “stuff” he’s brought back to his apartment, including the place where he found it. An example below:
Thanks for letting us know the news about Ms. Aline Kominsky-Crumb – another voice has left us – and yet her work lives on. The New Yorker article you linked to was well-written. There were several poignant videos about the pair. I guess R. Crumb’s Genesis is one of my favorites of his – she joked about it I recall her telling him he was now a Biblical Scholar (or something like that) – We will always remember her.
