Aline Kominksy-Crumb is an underground comix artist most famous for her autobiographical stories of growing up in New York during the 1960s. In these stories she refers to herself as 'The Bunch', a nickname she was apprently given as a child. She was born Aline Goldsmith to a upper-middle class Jewish family in Long Island.
