Crumb Page #4

in which he would draw...

some of the characters and I would

draw some and have them interact.

That was a great school

of cartooning for me...

having to come up

with clever retorts to him.

He was actually much cleverer

and funnier than I was.

It got tiresome, but you had to do it.

He was in charge.

I had this very definite,

bad problem about Charles.

I think a lot of it had to do

with my morbid sensitivity to the guy...

as well as his natural affinity

to get in there and profit off it.

Robert was somewhat of a middleman.

It had this way of restricting...

or causing this terrible

self-consciousness in me as a kid.

I was morbidly modest about my body.

Sex was completely removed.

When it came time for me to become

sexually aware when I was in puberty...

Sex was nowhere near in my life.

I had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Sex was so heavily repressed.

That's when the seizures started.

I had a seizure. And a seizure's like

a point where your behavior becomes...

I'd have to get into the whole sex trip,

which is an awful involved topic.

All I thought about when I was

in my late teens and early 20s was sex.

I masturbated about four or five times

a week. How frequently did you...

I don't masturbate anymore now that

my sexual desires are completely dead.

Like I told you,

I can't get an erection anymore.

My God!

I don't know whether it's one thing

or a combination of things.

Maybe a combination of the medication

and lack of external stimulation.

Maybe approaching old age

has something to do with it. Who knows?

You need some external stimulation

to keep up your interest.

Now that my sexual desires are gone,

I'm not sure I want them back again.

My earliest sexual memories?

I remember being like four years old

and getting erections.

I guess my aunt or my mother's sister...

Humping her legs and her shoes

like under the table.

I remember going in my mother's closet.

She had cowboy boots...

she wore when it rained...

and humping those in the closet.

And I remember singing while doing it.

Jesus loves me, this I know

For the Bible tells me so

I remember...

when I was about five or six

I was sexually attracted to Bugs Bunny.

I cut out this Bugs Bunny

off the cover of a comic book...

and carried it around with me

in my pocket...

and took it out

and looked at it periodically.

It got wrinkled from handling.

I asked my mother to iron it

to flatten it out.

She did, and I was deeply disappointed

because it got all brown and brittle...

and it crumbled apart.

What was it about Bugs Bunny

that you found exciting?

I had this sexual attraction

to cute cartoon characters.

You tell me!
