Happy 50th birthday, Fritz The Cat

Sponsored By:

I will never forget the day I discovered Fritz The Cat. I was having a solo day of wandering around North Portland smoking weed and enjoying one of those on-and-off rainy, Oregon spring days. You know the days. You have to carry a good waterproof shell with you, but when the sun broke out you’d peel it off to enjoy the little dose of Vitamin D on your skin. Eventually, I got a little tired so I went back to my dorm room where I streamed movies from a service that will go unmentioned because it was free.

That was my lead up to discovering this masterpiece by the great Ralph Bakshi and I would say that was perfect day for me. Maybe getting in a good skate would’ve have been a proper cherry on top, but those rainy days seem to keep the concrete just the right amount of wet. Oh well. It was still a pretty good day. Nothing to the level of Ice Cube, but good nonetheless.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRITZ!
