Useless musical knowledge: The music is from Scott Joplin's Ragtime Opera, Treemonisha. It is the only opera in existence to be entirely comprised of ragtime music. Joplin died before it could be performed, but close personal friend Irving Berlin financed a production of it several years later.

ohhhhhh! Zap Comix, Fritz the Cat, Keep on Truckin'! Great find!

Crumb is a great character. I recommend watching the documentary about him entitled "Crumb."

If you like Crumb, I would suggest you check out the recordings he did with his band, "The Cheap Suit Serenaders", for Yazoo records-excellent jug-bandish revival....
