A SCANNER CRUMBLY: What I dig about the Crumb Dick comic is what I dig about Crumb when he does Harvey Pekar stories: he conveys the story well yet the comic remains unmistakably Crumb. I think Crumb was and is infinitely more jaded than Dick, so even in the midst of illustrating and illustrating well Dick's mind-altering religious experience he still manages to make Dick an average-looking mortal person. I think Dick would have approved.
