"I drew this story when I was nineteen years old and still a virgin... Now I'm thirty years old and the book seems somewhat adolescent and immature to me. I gave the book as a gift to Dana when I first met her, as a token of my love. We got married shortly after. It has been hidden away all these years, along with some early sketchbooks of mine, and other sophomoric-romantic works done in the throes of horny passion. But now the time has come to review it to the world. I guess. My lawyer Albert Morse thinks it'll sell like hotcakes and make a lot of money. I dunno." – R. Crumb's jacket blurb.______________________________________________________________
