The Success of "Underground Comics" was an Antithesis to the Founding, Creation, and Distribution were Initially "Direct to Comic-Shops", Sold on the Streets of San Francisco, and Anywhere "Freak Flags" Waved with Anti-Establishment Glee.
After the Height-Ashury Became Nightly News Chronicling the Immigrant Youth and Their Migration to that Land of Make-Believe, Things Opened-Up for Previously Ignored or Misrepresenting Misanthropes.
"Ghost World" (from the Underground Comic of the same name) is a Richer, Better Entertainment Celebrating the Odd-Folks that Live on the Fringe, but have Something to Say and Often Say it in Colorful Insights.
The Documentary "Crumb", Looks Closely and Playfully at R. Crumb (Robert Crumb) and is a Great Film by Johnathan Demme.
These "Touchtone" Movies that Exposed the Masses to a World of Wonderful People that were Always With Us, but We Rarely Paid Any Attention. Just too Odd, these People and Their Lives. But After the Counter-Culture-Revolution, Things Changed in The Time, as Dylan Sang.
So here We Have "Harvey Pekar '' of "American Splendor" Comic-Book Fame, in All His Unkempt, Untidy, Self Drawn in the Book by Crumb and then Various Other Artists.
Harvey Got His "15 Minutes" and Hardly Knew What to Do, so He Kept On Keeping His Life-Stories with Little Change of Attitude. This is the Story.
In the 50's it was Said "This is New York, There Are 8 Million Stories Here, This is One of Them", Ditto, but Now it's, Over 300 Million Stories, Yet to be Told.
This Film May Inspire a Few.
Kudos to All Involved Making This as Entertaining and Informative Movie as Possible.
