The Bunch was born out of the underground culture of the 1960s, fuelled by Kominsky-Crumb’s rebellion against her bourgeois upbringing. But it’s also very funny in how it reveals the imperfect side of one woman’s wild life. Be warned: it’s messy, crude, sexually explicit and at times the honesty is painful. One could argue that without Kominsky-Crumb’s groundbreaking autobiographical comics, Hannah Horvath wouldn’t exist.įor those unfamiliar with Kominsky-Crumb’s comics alter-ego, “The Bunch,” there is a new collection of her work, Love That Bunch, out with Montreal’s Drawn & Quarterly. Fifty years ago, the underground comics artist drew herself in the same scenario, with all her imperfections and neuroses exposed. Aline Kominsky-Crumb hysterically screamed with joy when Lena Dunham appeared on the HBO show Girls sitting naked on the toilet.
