These lend her comics a genuinely intimate feel, like notes jotted down in the margins of a personal letter. Kominsky-Crumb peppers her stories with little asides and footnotes, aimed directly at readers, in a touching or humorous manner. One of the most delightful aspects of The Bunch comics is their personal, conversational touch. Her line appears untrained and often downright crude, but fearlessly committed to paper with a laissez-faire panache.
I love her in-the-moment, scrawly, obsessively cross-hatched drawings. It's been a long, fraught journey and Kominsky-Crumb tells you all about it, in sometimes mortifying, often hilarious, occasionally moving, but always engaging detail. Taken together, the stories in Love That Bunch provide a compact, thematically rich autobiography, touching on every important aspect of Kominsky-Crumb's existence: family, sexual obsessions, food, motherhood, art, and various philisophical musings.
