Most interesring quote of one of his critics from above:

"Faith is such an important part of people's lives that one must remember to tread very carefully."

To which the only reasonable response is "Why?"

I lived off Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights in the heyday of Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, which served as my introduction to Crumb.

Thanks for this, Cartoonist. Definitely going to revisit this.
Looking forward to the sound of exploding heads here...
