Good article, and it sums up R.Crumb's attitude towards the film nicely.

He wanted Fritz to not be around when the shit hits the fan!

As it were.

I *really* wanted to love his stuff, but even back then it was far too sexist for me to read comfortably.

Crumb or Bakshi?

Both, but Crumb more than Bakshi.

Admittedly, I'm not familiar enough with either one's work to determine. Cool World is the work I know Baski most with.

Fritz the Cat was one bawdy cartoon that I never seen, but in a book that
I read in high school, it was a book that pointed out animated movies and
had picture of Fritz leaping toward a topless full-figured crow lady... damn...
was those G-Cups?

Fritz was also a character I had heard about but never seen.
