Aline married Crumb in 1978. Their daughter Sophie was born in 1981. Since the late 1970s, Aline and Robert have produced a series of collaborative comics called "Dirty Laundry" (also known as "Aline & Bob's Dirty Laundry"), a comic about the Crumb family life. They both drew their own characters for the comic. Around this time, Kominsky-Crumb began calling her comics avatar "The Bunch," a reference to the similarly named Crumb character. Later installments of "Dirty Laundry" feature contributions by Sophie, who also began producing comics in her teens.
