In many ways her artwork perfectly counterbalances Crumb's. Where he has one of the finest drafting skills of any living cartoonist her "tortured scratching" (her words) makes a mockery of proportion, weight and space. People hate her for it just as people hate Robert Crumb for his outlandish depictions of women and blacks. But just as Crumb's art comes from daring to confront his own prejudices, it takes guts...

(It's the sad, teasing "Je n'ai qu'un Amour c'est Toi," and, in another 100th birthday present, is covered on the new CD by World Musette, a Paris band fronted by the cartoonist Robert Crumb.) Her jealous lover creeps into the projection booth and, from there, shoots her dead. Brooks' face goes lifeless as her screen image lives.
