The Complete Crumb Comics #15
In "Arline 'n' Bob and That Thing In the Bedroom"—a hypothetical tale from R. Crumb's own pen and ink—Crumb channels a surreal, satirical edge as a Jesus People, U.S.A. interviewer confronts him with blunt religious fervor, questioning his beliefs and warning of eternal damnation. With Crumb both writer and artist, the story unfolds in his signature raw, unfiltered style, blending dark humor and moral ambiguity in a conversation that lingers long after the final panel.
