The quality rises again for this, the final volume. Cave Wimp is awesome. I'm Grateful! I'm Grateful! and R. Crumb Goes to the Academy Awards are great. The Mode O'Day strip is probably the best Mode strip. And People…Ya Gotta Love 'Em! is a Crumb classic.

Many of the misc. illustrations are also in Gotta Have 'Em or Odds & Ends. R. Crumb Goes to the Academy Awards also appears in HUP #4.

Guess what: they screwed up the Table of Contents again. On p. 120 they list Bikini Battle 3D back cover, but it's not in the book. On p. 120 is a drawing: I Wouldn't Kick Her Out of Bed, which is not listed.  
Here is the cover of Bikini Battle 3D, along with the 3D centerfold:
