{"product_id":"love-that-bunch","title":"Love That Bunch","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe early work of the pioneering feminist cartoonist plus her acclaimed new story “Dream House\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAline Kominsky-Crumb immediately made her mark in the Bay Area’s underground comix scene with unabashedly raw, dirty, unfiltered comics chronicling the thoughts and desires of a woman coming of age in the 1960s. Kominsky-Crumb didn’t worry about self-flattery. In fact, her darkest secrets and deepest insecurities were all the more fodder for groundbreaking stories. Her exaggerated comix alter ego, Bunch, is self-destructive and grotesque but crackles with the self-deprecating humor and honesty of a cartoonist confident in the story she wants to tell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollecting comics from the 1970s through today, \u003ci\u003eLove That Bunch\u003c\/i\u003e is shockingly prescient while still being an authentic story of its era. Kominsky-Crumb was ahead of her time in juxtaposing the contradictory nature of female sexuality with a proud, complicated feminism. Most important, she does so without apology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most famous and idiosyncratic cartoonists of our time, Kominsky-Crumb traces her steps from a Beatles-loving fangirl, an East Village groupie, an adult grappling with her childhood, and a 1980s housewife and mother, to a new thirty-page story, “Dream House,” that looks back on her childhood forty years later. \u003ci\u003eLove That Bunch\u003c\/i\u003e will be Kominsky-Crumb’s only solo-authored book in print. Originally published as a book in 1990, this new expanded edition follows her to the present, including an afterword penned by the noted comics scholar Hillary Chute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316549984638,"sku":"NW9781770463059","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781770463059.jpg?v=1778697137","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-usa\/products\/love-that-bunch","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
