"Drawn Together" is a collection of comics by R. and A. Crumb, a married couple who have been rumored to collaborate for years. The book chronicles their daily lives and sexual escapades, as well as the challenges faced by Aline Kominsky as a female artist. The idea for their collaboration came about in 1972 when Aline broke her foot and R. Crumb convinced her to pass the time by drawing together. The book also covers their success with "Weirdo Magazine," the birth of their daughter, and their move to France. With an introduction and four-color section, "Drawn Together" is a must-have for fans of comics.

Rumored for years, Drawn Together finally charts the daily exploits and erotic craziness of this First Couple of comics. Who could have imagined that in 1972, when Aline Kominsky, a Long Island escapee and bodaciously talented artist, broke her foot one rainy fall day, it would result in the most unique collaboration in comics history? Laid up in her house, she was persuaded by R. Crumb, her nerdy, neurotic boyfriend, to pass the time drawing together a two-man comic. The result is a jaw-dropping yet tender account, not only of the joys and challenges of a legendary marriage but also of the obstacles faced by struggling female artists. In Drawn Together, our foremost male-female cartooning couple recall their success at shocking America with Weirdo Magazine, the life-altering birth of their precocious daughter Sophie, and their astonishing move to the safe haven of France. With an irresistible introduction and a striking four-color section, Drawn Together becomes a graphic cause-c*lebre and a must-have for any comics devotee.
