Your exactly right... the craziest part of this story is learning that Robert is the sane one in the family! Every character in the film is totally surreal and could only be made as a documentary because no one would believe any of it if it had been fictional. An interesting (although far less disturbing) followup would be American Splendor which is about a friend of Robert's (I can't remember if the mention him in Crumb or not) who goes on to write the comic book series (you guessed it) American Splendor which Crumb provides the artwork for. Also about a quirky character, but a far more lighthearted film. This has to be one of my favorite documentaries of all time.
