Aline Kominsky-Crumb (née Goldsmith; August 1, 1948 – November 29, 2022) was an American underground comics artist. Kominsky-Crumb's work, which is almost exclusively autobiographical, is known for its unvarnished, confessional nature.[1] In 2016, ComicsAlliance listed Kominsky-Crumb as one of twelve women cartoonists deserving of lifetime achievement recognition.[2] She was married to cartoonist Robert Crumb, with whom she frequently collaborated.[3] Their daughter, Sophie Crumb, is also a cartoonist.
