Fritz the Cat #[nn]

Robert Crumb's Fritz the Cat gets a handsome collected edition from German publisher Reprodukt, bringing together the misadventures of underground comix's most notorious feline. The cover, entirely Crumb's own pencils and inks, shows Fritz lounging confidently on a couch beside a female cat, radiating the laid-back, street-smart attitude that made the character a countercultural touchstone. A fine way to experience Crumb's richly detailed linework and sharp social satire in 1999.
