Synopsis

Fritz, a frisky cat, was Robert Crumb's first great character and continues to be, after Mr. Natural, his second best-known creation. But for Crumb, Fritz was too successful and after the release of an animated movie (which he hated) the plug was pulled on this iconic feline. Fantagraphics have now brought together a comprehensive collection of the adventures of this crazy cat - the new hardcover edition includes an introduction from Crumb, sketchbook pages and more.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Robert Crumb’s first great character ― in fact, his second-best-known character next to Mr. Natural ― was Fritz the Cat, the horny, hip-talking feline whose success caused Crumb to kill him off. The Life and Death of Fritz the Cat, back in print as an inexpensive hardcover as a companion to The Book of Mr. Natural, contains all the Fritz stories from the earliest sketchbook-drawn tales (“Hey, Ol’ Cat!” and “Fritz Comes On Strong”) to the wild adventure stories (“Special Agent for the C.I.A.”) to the classic “peak” Fritz stories (“Fritz the No-Good”) all the way to the despairing “Fritz the Cat, Superstar” with its infamous ice-pick ending.
