Fritz the Cat

Robert Crumb’s “Fritz the Cat” began in 1972 with a single issue from SPS, capturing the underground comix era’s raw, satirical energy. The series follows the titular feline through Crumb’s irreverent, counterculture lens, blending sharp social commentary with his distinctive, expressive linework. As a landmark work from one of the medium’s most influential figures, it remains a defining artifact of 1970s alternative comics.
