Harper's Magazine

In the early 1980s, Robert and Aline Crumb brought their singular, confessional style to the pages of Harper's Magazine, producing a short-lived but memorable three-issue comic series for the Harper's Magazine Foundation. A raw, autobiographical departure from the glossy magazine it shared a name with, the strip captured the couple's daily life and artistic partnership with unflinching honesty. Though brief, this collaboration stands as a distinctive artifact of the Crumbs' creative synergy, offering a candid window into their world during a fertile period of alternative comics.
