Yeraltı çizgi roman sanatçısı R. Crumb’ın çalışmalarını bilenler, birkaç tahtasının eksik olduğunu tahmin edebilir ve gerçekten de haklı çıkabilirler. Oysa ki Terry Zwigoff’un, Crumb’ın hayatını anlatan bu hüzünlü ve büyüleyici belgeselinin en büyük keşiflerinden biri, R. Crumb’ın, hepsi de beklenmedik yetenek ve yaratıcılık sahibi olan ancak bu yaratıcılık gücünü birbirinden son derece farklı hal ve dışavurumlara akıtan üç kardeşten en az acayibi, ve en iyi uyum göstereni olması. Kardeşlerden biri, zamanının çoğunu San Francisco sokaklarında meditasyon yaparak geçiriyor. Diğeriyse, evinde annesiyle gizlenerek klinik depresyon ve delilikle mücadele eden bir münzevi. Bu iki kardeş de en az R. Crumb kadar sanata yatkın ve yetenekli; ve filmin büyük kısmı, paylaştıkları görece sıradan çocukluk evresinin üç kardeşi nasıl farklı yönlere itmiş olduğunu gözler önüne seriyor.
