Portraits of the artist as a young woman from ages three to 28, interspersed with sketches and drawings of parents, friends, surroundings, and stories. Guy to Sophie, age 22: "Oh my God! Your dad is R. Crumb?...God! that must be sooo weird! He's like the f*in' GOD of the '60s...!" Sophie (thinks): "F* you prick!! Shmuck!! He's not a god!! He's my daddy!! And we used to play Barbie and read Little Lulu and..." Mom Aline describes this as "a book revealing personal evolution from toddlerhood to adulthood through art." So it's part art book, part autobiography in that the entire book could be seen as one strip with each page or drawing constituting a panel.—Martha Cornog, "Graphic Novels Prepub Alert," BookSmack! 7/15/2010
