And ninety years later:

Right before the end of 2025, Robert Crumb on Marjorie Taylor Greene:
#RobertCrumb #ComicSky

www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
"I was ruled by my dick. I cringe with embarrassment to think of the foolish behavior, the nonsense. Oh my God, chasing women. What a bad boy I was. I was bad, selfish, selfish, selfish, selfish. You know, I was lying to this one and running to another one and, you know, lying to that one and running back to the other one. Oh, terrible, terrible. What on Earth did I think I was doing? I was just ruled by the libido, you know, just couldn't help myself... But, you know, my whole thing with women was always very odd and quirky and strange. Always, always." Which brings us to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Politically, Crumb has no doubts about who she is: "The most low-level, sleazy, opportunistic politics of playing on the ignorance of her constituency, which is some remote mountain county of Georgia." Nevertheless... "I saw her on TV, where she was talking. I thought, 'Oh, she's kind of good-looking!' And she's athletic. She goes to the gym, and she's just looking terrific. Wow. So a kind of tough-looking blonde, you know? A shiksa from the South. Wow. I started getting the hots for her. Wow. And I thought I could change Marjorie Taylor Greene. I could, you know, if I was involved, I could raise her consciousness and convert her to something more like an ethical state of mind and become a better person as well as, you know, having a good time with her." I thought for a moment, on hearing this astonishing news, that we might be lucky enough to expect a new Reactionary Girl comic starring MTG following in the sleazy footsteps of Lenore Goldberg: Girl Commando, Honeybunch Kaminski, Devil Girl, and the other Crumb Amazons. "I thought about that, but I don't want to get in trouble," he says. "Who knows what kind of nasty shit she'd be capable of? Who knows? Nasty. She's nasty. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Great-looking, though. Boy, what a body! Wow. Tough. Tough body!"
