However, in American Psycho, the main character is written as a functional person, living a functional life; this is not the case in Crumb... he's a raving lunatic who pisses in his own pants on the bus.

And there really isn't a story here. There's no plot, no storyline, no conclusion: we see 7 days in a lunatics head - complete with raving hallucinations and several gory and detailed murders. So.
