Fritz the Cat, Makes His Move Fritz , the creation of Robert Crumb, first appeared on the comix scene in 1965. This image was pulled from an underground comic book cover done in 1969.
Fritz later went on to become a silver screen star in the 1972 animated film "Fritz the Cat". Due to artist differences, R. Crumb was not happy with the film-- and in 1972 Fritz was killed at the hands of a scorned female. Though tragic, his passing in this manner, was not a surprise to anyone who knew him well. There may be a lesson in there somewhere for all of us--but let's not worry about that.
