This book was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Despite what Aline says in the book, she is really talented! The book was hilarious! Especially the parts about her parents and weight loss camp.
Along with Phoebe Gloeckner (A Child's Life and Other Stories) I think that she's one of the best women cartoonists.
Also I think that way that she draws Robert is adorable.

"Love That Bunch" is an extraordinarily brilliant visual memoir of Baby Boom, L.I. culture. In some ways, perhaps only the Bunch got out of there alive. Her brilliantly funny depictions of family life, childhood, adolescent, and adult desire is a treasure. Few people are as funny and as honest as the Bunch when it comes to the body. Her depictions of her parents are beyond belief. The Bunch might not be able to go penstroke for penstroke on a techincal level with her husband, R. Crumb, but she is every bit his equal in terms of sensibility and storytelling. I've rarely laughed harder (a nervous laughter at times), than while reading The Bunch. Any man who loves a woman must buy this book--for his love and for himself.

From romance and sex to food, Love That Bunch is a 1960s-style romp which comic and graphic novel fans will relish. Presented in black and white are tales of funny customers, organic foods, philosophy, low esteem and more: comics which represent camp comedy at its best. Fans of Crumb and alternative comics will thrill to many of the jokes and 1960s scenarios.

The woman besides the man. Hint:She's more interesting than Robert.
