Mary Fleener, like Crumb, is a cartoonist. Some of their work appears in the same magazines (e.g., Mineshaft). Fleener also reviewed Aline-Kominsky Crumb's Need More Love. The illustration of Joni Mitchell was used in a book of interviews of artists by an LA-based journalist. Mitchell's song "Big Yellow Taxi" music was used in an unofficial YouTube video of Crumb's "Short History of America".
