3. There was an excerpt in the New Yorker a few weeks ago
Was mildly interesting as a treatment, but I can't imagine plowing through 50 chapters of him basically playing it straight.

4. Saw the documentary on him a few years back.
Love his stuff, but he's one weird dude. Funny thing is that they showed his family and he was the most normal of the bunch.

6. No disrespect to Crumb, but it sounds awfully boring.
Assuming truth in advertising.

Yeah, I get the humor in the concept of an honest depiction in Genesis. It's the whole South Park "Scientologists actually believe this" business. But that's not interesting material to literal depictions, IMO.
